The novelty in this study is exploring self-identity developmental tasks in more depth from a family point of view, specifically the adolescents’ parents. īased on this, the question raised in this study is how the family experience facilitates adolescents in developing their self-identities in ex-localization. Conversely, the positive interactions between family life risk and protective factors with regard to localization in Dupak Bangunsari in Surabaya, Indonesia have been linked to resilient behaviors. Some researchers found that the common localization problems faced by teenagers in Gambilagu, Semarang, Indonesia are fighting, having no interactions with other teenagers outside the local area, and engaging in other negative behaviors.
Clearly, such conditions would hamper self-identity development in adolescents. Such adverse effects include disturbances to households and family life, personality issues, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and sexual crimes involving teenagers and the people around them. This localization may have adverse effects on people and their surroundings, including adolescents. In addition to family, the community and individuals living locally in localization influence self-identity development in adolescents. It is argued that parental background (family) is one of many factors that influence adolescents during their self-identity development. Some researchers find that a positive parenting style lead to positive behaviors in their children, and the opposite is also true. Teenagers who do not experience abuse within their family achieve clearer identity than those who do. Īdolescent identity development is also influenced by parenting style. Putra emphasizes that interpersonal communication between parents and children is important to help youths avoid sex before marriage Further, a Southwest Wisconsin Youth Survey revealed that parental monitoring is a powerful tool for preventing adolescents from engaging in risk-taking behaviors. If these behaviors are uncontrolled, the adolescents could experience a so-called identity crisis. įamily has a major influence on adolescents in terms of limiting risk-taking behavior such as unsafe premarital sex and drug use. Support from the adolescents’ families is expected during this process.
All teenagers, including those living in ex-localization, show diverse performance during their developmental task achievement. On the other hand, some adolescents in ex-localization areas exhibit more constructive behaviors and habits, such as participating in group Quranic recitations and social activities in local mosques and youth organizations. However, many of them continue to engage in socially unacceptable activities, such as theft, smoking in coffee shops, playing billiards at school time and at night, spending time in karaoke bars, displaying strong affection to a member of the opposite sex in public, and dressing sexually. Identity confusion is indicated by their inability to value their roles in the community, unstable personalities, a lack of goals, hobbies, or plans for their future, a bad attitude, and no interest in daily activities.Īdolescents living in ex-localization are expected to complete their developmental tasks and acquire positive self-identities.
On the contrary, those who cannot complete these developmental tasks would experience identity confusion. Adolescents who are able to complete these developmental tasks would have positive self-identities. According to Erikson, adolescents must overcome self-identity crises and identity confusion. The adolescent is also expected to behave in accordance with his or her religious values, make decisions without involving other people, gain academic achievements, set goals, engage in positive hobbies, and socialize with his/her surroundings. Īdolescent development is characterized by identity achievement, which is indicated by the ability of the individual to understand his or her roles in the community, select a job he or she desires. Based on the population projection data in 2015, there were 66 million adolescents in Indonesia, representing approximately 25% of the country’s total population Meanwhile, the number of adolescents living in the province of the research site is 426.786 and 250 of them are living in ex-localization Dupak Bangun Sari, Surabaya city.
