Abstract

Among the Indonesian Chinese, there is still perceived discrimination even though since the reformation (1998) there has been no more discrimination against the Indonesian Chinese, either in the form of regulations or anti-Indonesian Chinese racial riots as in May 1998. Even perceived discrimination is found in those who do not experience such discrimination. This study aims to highlight the influence of ethnic socialization on perceived discrimination and the description of the involvement of significant others in ethnic socialization among young Indonesian Chinese in Jakarta. The study uses a quantitative descriptive approach. The sampling technique used is purposive technique sampling. The population of the study was Indonesian Chinese students in Jabodetabek. From the study with 524 respondents (66.2% female and 33.8% male), there are at least three things that can be noted. First, there is the influence of ethnic socialization on perceived discrimination. Of the three dimensions of ethnic socialization, only the labelling dimension has a significant effect on perceived discrimination. Second, mothers are the most influential significant others in the lives of young Indonesian Chinese. Third, college friends play a role as significant others in the realm of friendship, lectures and organizations. This study also found that young Indonesian Chinese in Jakarta, college friends play a role as significant others in various fields. College friends are dominant in the realm of friendship, lectures and organizations. The relationship between respondents and significant others is more personal than formal.
