Main Article Content
Abstract
Parents with helicopter parenting are often intensely involved in the lives of adolescents with an orientation to protect adolescents from negative outcomes and to ensure their own success. Helicopter parenting refers to parenting with high involvement and protection for adolescents such as constant communication with adolescents, interfering in the personal affairs of adolescents, being involved with adolescents' personal goals, making decisions for adolescents, and removing obstacles that adolescents face. This study aims to examine the helicopter parenting perception in X High School students. The number of research participants was 434 X High School students, aged 14-18 years and living with both parents. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. By using a descriptive quantitative research design, this study used the Helicopter Parenting Instrument (HPI) to measure helicopter parenting perception. Data analysis used descriptive statistics. The results showed that participant get perceived helicopter parenting and perceived maternal helicopter parenting found higher than perceived paternal helicopter parenting. This can be seen from mean value of perceived maternal helicopter parenting variable (M = 4.755) that found higher than the mean value of perceived paternal helicopter parenting variable (M = 4.209). Furthermore, 14.7% of participants had perceived paternal helicopter parenting in the low category, 66.6% of participants had perceived paternal helicopter parenting in the medium category, and 18.7% participants had perceived paternal helicopter parenting in the high category. Furthermore, as many as 13.6% of participants had perceived maternal helicopter parenting in the low category, 59.4% of participants had perceived maternal helicopter parenting in the medium category, and 27% of participants had perceived maternal helicopter parenting perception in the high category. The highest dimension of perceived paternal helicopter parenting is involved with adolescents’ personal goal, whereas the highest dimension of perceived maternal helicopter parenting is intervening personal matters
