Hubungan Regulasi Emosi dan Kesepian pada Dewasa Awal
Abstract
Abstract. Loneliness is a phenomenon that is rampant in the wider community. In Indonesia, loneliness was found in the early adult group aged 18-34 years as many as 79.9% of 5,211 people. Early adults are expected to be able to build intimate relationships. Meanwhile, the loneliness experienced shows that there are obstacles. So the ability to reduce loneliness is needed, such as the ability to perform adaptive emotional regulation. This study aims to determine the relationship between emotion regulation and loneliness in early adulthood. Using quantitative-correlational methods with PLS-SEM analysis techniques. The research sample consisted of 351 respondents aged 18-25 years who were taken with convenience sampling technique. The measuring instruments used were the UCLA Loneliness Scale version 3 to measure loneliness and the Emotion Regulation Questionnare to distinguish the use of emotion regulation into two strategies, namely cognitive reappraisal (CR) and expressive suppression (ES). The results showed a correlation between loneliness and ES of 0.846, meaning that the greater the use of ES causes higher feelings of loneliness, and -0.872 with CR, meaning that the greater the individual uses CR, the lower the loneliness felt. Therefore, individual differences in using emotion regulation strategies play an important role in explaining loneliness.
Abstrak. Kesepian merupakan fenomena yang sedang marak terjadi di masyarakat luas. Di Indonesia, kesepian ditemukan pada kelompok dewasa awal berusia 18-34 tahun sebanyak 79,9% dari 5.211 orang. Dewasa awal dihadapkan dapat membangun hubungan intim. Sedangkan kesepian yang dialami menujukkan adanya hambatan. Maka diperlukan kemampuan untuk mengurangi kesepian seperti kemampuan melakukan regulasi emosi yang adaptif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara regulasi emosi dan kesepian pada dewasa awal. Menggunakan metode kuantitatif-korelasional dengan teknik analisis PLS-SEM. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari 351 responden berusia 18-25 tahun yang diambil dengan teknik sampling convenience. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah UCLA Loneliness Scale version 3 untuk mengukur kesepian dan Emotion Regulation Questionnare untuk membedakan penggunaan regulasi emosi kedalam dua strategi yaitu cognitive reappraisal (CR) dan expressive suppression (ES). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan korelasi antara kesepian dengan ES sebesar 0,846 artinya semakin besar penggunaan ES menyebabkan perasaan kesepian yang semakin tinggi, dan -0,872 dengan CR artinya semakin besar individu menggunakan CR maka semakin rendah kesepian yang dirasakan. Oleh karena itu, perbedaan individu dalam menggunakan strategi regulasi emosi berperan penting dalam menjelaskan kesepian.
