Family Functioning Against Problem Solving Coping Adolescent Victims of Bullying

Abstract

Bullying generally has a negative impact on the victim's mentality. Victims of bullying have a negative impact on themselves and the environment if not addressed immediately. Family functioning is one of the factors that can minimize the occurrence of bullying. Through problem solving coping, children imitate what parents usually do in solving a problem. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods, using interviews and observations as data collection techniques. The results of this study indicate that problem solving in the family plays an important role in family functioning, along with the selection of coping strategies used in solving a problem. Coping strategies used by a child are innate constructs from parents and tend to be stable over time.
