AbstrakWalau bangsa Indonesia dianggap memiliki kebudayaan kolektivistik, masih belum diketahui apakah tiap-tiap kelompok etnis menekankan nilai-nilai kebersamaan dan harmoni sosial dalam level yang sama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan tingkat keterikatan interpersonal pada lima kelompok etnis besar di Indonesia. Jumlah subjek yang terlibat adalah 1.420 orang yang berasal dari etnis Jawa subkultur Negarigung, etnis Jawa subkultur Mancanegari, etnis Madura, etnis Minangkabau, dan etnis Bugis-Makassar. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan teknik analisis varians untuk menguji perbedaan nilai rerata dalam keterikatan interpersonal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada perbedaan yang berarti dalam hal keterikatan interpersonal antar etnis. Etnis Jawa Nagarigung cenderung lebih menonjolkan rasa percaya terhadap sikap dan perilaku mitra relasi dibanding etnis-etnis lainnya kecuali etnis Jawa Mancanegari. Sementara itu etnis Jawa Mancanegari cenderung lebih tinggi dalam persepsi kualitas hubungan dengan mitra relasi dibanding seluruh etnis lainnya kecuali etnis Minangkabau. Untuk dimensi kuatnya pertimbangan pihak ketiga dalam relasi, etnis Minangkabau cenderung lebih tinggi dibanding seluruh etnis lain. Dengan demikian, terdapat perbedaan antar etnis dalam menonjolkan dimensi keterikatan dalam hubungan interpersonal. AbstractEven though previous research suggested that Indonesia is a collectivistic society, we are still at the dark when we question whether each Indonesian sub-ethnic group actually differ in their endorsement toward collectivistic values. This study aimed to investigate whether there are meaningful differences in interpersonal attachment between five major ethnic groups in Indonesia. A total of 1.420 subjects from Javanese ethnic Negarigung subculture, Javanese ethnic Mancanegari subculture, Maduranese ethnic, Minangese ethnic, and Bugisese-Makassarese ethnic participated in this study. The data was analyzed with analysis of variance to determine whether there is any mean difference between ethnic group. The results showed that there were significant differences in interpersonal attachment. The Javanese Nagarigung ethnic tends to emphasize more trust in the attitudes and behaviors of the relational partners than other ethnic groups except the Mancanegari Javanese. Meanwhile, the Mancanegari Javanese tend to be higher in the perception of the quality of relations with partner relations than all other ethnic groups except the Minangkabau ethnic group. For the dimension of third-party consideration in relationships, the Minangkabau ethnicity tends to be higher than all other ethnic groups. Thus, there were differences between ethnic groups in highlighting the dimensions of engagement in interpersonal relationships.

This study aims to explore the picture of homesickness in the first-year student of Islamic Boarding School Ummul Mukminin. The study was conducted using two approaches namely survey and quasi-experiment. Participants are new students aged 13-15 years old. Participants were divided into 2 (two) stages. The first stage is a stage of need analysis, in which researchers spread open questionnaires and are distributed to 300 students before intervention in the form of psychoeducation. In the second stage, the quasi-experimental procedure was carried out with a scaled deployment as a pre-test stage for 186 students who had moderate to high levels of homesickness. Data analysis of the questionnaire and open scale was done by coding and categorizing. A paired sample t-test was conducted to compare differences in the level of homesickness in students during pre-and post-test. The results of data analysis show that the interventions in the form of psychoeducation or psychological education have been proven to reduce the homesickness felt by participants through developing skills and abilities in facing challenges or problems.
