This paper is intended to describe the psychological dynamics of adolescents living in orphanages. How are the psychological dynamics of adolescents in living their adolescence without direct guidance and affection from their parents. This study uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods. From the results of this study, it was concluded that there were significant differences in the psychological dynamics of adolescents living in orphanages because they had to be entrusted by parents with adolescents living in an orphanage because of their own desires. Psychologically, adolescents who are forced to live in orphanages tend to close themselves off from their environment. Meanwhile, adolescents who live in homes because of their own desires, they tend to be more open to their environment. In addition, the age factor when they enter the orphanage environment also affects their psychological dynamics. Those who enter the orphanage when they are children tend to be more adaptable. Conversely, those who enter when they are teenagers tend to have more difficulty adapting. Therefore, it is hoped that the management of the orphanage can understand the psychological dynamics of adolescents and their struggles, so that it can help them to live adolescence properly, even without the presence of their biological parents.
The death of a parent can be a devastating and painful experience for a teenager. Teenagers lose love and parental figures. The correct self-concept is needed by teenagers in living their lives. To develop the correct self-concept, of course, involve other parties, such as orphanages. This study aims to describe the self-concept of adolescents who have orphaned status at the Dorkas Porong Orphanage, Sidoarjo. This study the author uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological perspective. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews of the five research subjects who were orphans. The results showed that in general, they already had a good self-concept because of the Christian spiritual development at the orphanage. This spiritual guidance guides teenagers to learn to accept and appreciate themselves positively. They show: 1) a life style that is full of enthusiasm in carrying out daily life, 2) has a clear purpose in life, 3) can carry out daily responsibilities at the orphanage with enthusiasm and 4) is able to adapt to the environment. In addition, the formation of their self-concept supported by a family-friendly environment becomes a motivation for self-acceptance of adolescents and helps adolescents to live a normal adolescence, even without the presence of their parents.
It is undeniable that the death of biological parents can affect the emotional development of children. The purpose of this study is to reveal the reality of the emotional development of orphaned adolescents at the Dorkas Sidoarjo Orphanage. To answer the purpose of the author uses a literature study research method in a phenomenological perspective. The findings of this study there are two factors that influence the emotional development of adolescents. The internal factor is the age when teenagers face the death of one or both of their parents, which greatly affects their emotional development: feelings of worthlessness, anxiety and depression arise and some even fall into juvenile delinquency who deal with the police. The external factor is spiritual development and is also supported by a conducive atmosphere full of kinship in the orphanage which has a positive impact on emotional development.
