Examining of the perception of juvenile inmates youth correctional center towards parenting styles

Abstract

TThis study aims to see the parenting style perceived by juvenile inmates at Class I Tangerang Youth Correctional Center. The research method used is quantitative description along with a total of 100 juvenile, males and females aged 14-19 inmates as participants and non-probability sampling with the purposive sampling method are employed classified into five (5) categories based on age, gender, place of residence, parental status, and parental presence. This research employs Baumrind's theory-based Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) as a measurement tool. From the research conducted by researchers, it was found that inmates perceive that the authoritative parenting style in the mother's parenting style has the most value compared to other parenting patterns because they think that the mother is a figure who is easy to trust, nurturing, caring and always loves her child wherever and whenever the child needs her. The results obtained from this research show that inmates who perceive that they are raised with an authoritative type in their mother's parenting style have the highest score, namely 36% and 41% of inmates who are raised with a permissive type in their father's parenting style, while inmates who perceive they are raised with a combination of authoritative types. and permissive parenting style of the mother has the lowest value, namely 1% and 27% of inmates who are raised with an authoritarian type in the parenting style of father. However, despite these values being the most dominant among other parenting styles, the z-score results show that there are still some lower values within the dominant score. Juvenile inmates are expected to subjectively perceive their parenting styles based on their comparison between their mothers and fathers. The next suggestion is to add other variables that have continuity with the topic of aggressiveness in adolescents, such as; variables of self-concept, emotional intelligence, conformity, or self-esteem. The advice for inmates is to face problems more calmly to control emotions so that they can find a good solution; for the Special Children's Development Institute (LPKA) in Tangerang to provide face to face coaching for inmates in more detail regarding the cases experienced; and for parents not to give punishments that are too harsh and even involve physical violence against teenagers.
