EasyChair Preprint 8718

Abstract

Broken home adolescents tend to have a low level of self-acceptance, then to achieve a high self-acceptance process, individuals need reinforcement from people in their surrounding environment, one of which is the family. An optimally functioning family will help broken home teens reach a high level of self-acceptance for their family background that is different from their friends in general. This study aimed to determine the effect of family functioning on self-acceptance in broken-home adolescents. The research design uses correlational quantitative. The data collection method used the non-probability sampling purposive sampling technique. The research subjects were 116 adolescents, with a frequency of 84 women and 32 men, female subjects. The age range of respondents is 17-21 years old. In addition, the respondent's family background is a broken home with the provision of living with a nuclear family or a large family with a frequency of 91 subjects living with their nuclear family and 25 subjects living with extended family. The measuring instrument used is the Berger scale (Self Acceptance Questionnaire) and The General Functioning 12-item subscale (GF12) of The McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD) scale. Test data analysis using simple linear regression which shows the influence of family functioning on self-acceptance of broken home adolescents (β=0.613; p<0.001), which means that the more the family functions optimally, the higher the level of self-acceptance of broken home adolescents. Other results show that gender has an effect on the level of self-acceptance of broken home adolescents p = 0.011 (p < 0.005) with male (M = 111.750; SD = 22.02) and female (M = 100.952; SD = 19.524) scores. Different test based on living with a nuclear family or extended family does not affect the self-acceptance of broken home adolescents. This means that only gender and family functioning in general influence the self-acceptance of broken home adolescents.
