Abstract

During adolescence, people actively socialize to find an environment that suits them. However, studies have found that adolescents who feel lonely generally have few friends and tend to withdraw from their surroundings. This study used the UCLA Loneliness Scale to determine the level of loneliness in adolescents aged 10-18 years in Jakarta with a total of 125 participants. The analysis was conducted using an independent sample t-test to see the level of adolescent loneliness by examining it from the aspects of age group, gender, hobbies, and participation in organizations inside or outside school. The normality test divided the level of loneliness into 3 categories with the majority of participants (65.6%) being at a moderate level. Based on the test results, there is no significant difference between the loneliness variable and the available aspects.


Pada masa remaja, manusia aktif bersosialisasi untuk menemukan lingkungan yang sesuai dengan mereka. Namun, studi menemukan bahwa remaja yang merasa kesepian umumnya memiliki teman yang minim serta cenderung menarik diri dari lingkungan sekitarnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan UCLA Loneliness Scale untuk mengetahui tingkat kesepian pada remaja berusia 10-18 tahun di Jakarta dengan total 125 partisipan. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan uji perbedaan independent sample t-test untuk melihat tingkat kesepian remaja berdasarkan aspek kelompok usia, jenis kelamin, hobi, serta keikutsertaan dalam organisasi di dalam atau luar sekolah. Hasil uji normalitas membagi tingkat kesepian menjadi 3 kategori dengan mayoritas partisipan (65.6%) berada dalam tingkat sedang. Hasil uji menunjukan tidak adanya perbedaan signifikan antara variabel kesepian dengan aspek-aspek yang tersedia.
