Peran Pengasuhan Kontrol Psikologis dan Otonomi Emosional dalam Pembentukan Identitas Remaja

Abstract

The formation of adolescent identity is influenced by various factors, one of which is the role of parenting and adolescent emotional autonomy. This study aims to analyze the parental psychological control and emotional autonomy in adolescent identity formation. This study used quantitative research methods with a cross-sectional approach. The participants of this study were 480 adolescents in Surabaya aged 12-21 who were obtained by the quota sampling method. The Indonesian versions of the Utrecht-Management of Identity Commitments Scale, Psychological Control Scale-Youth Self-Report, and Emotional Autonomy Scale were used to measure identity formation, parental psychological control, and emotional autonomy. Data analysis was carried out using multiple regression and hierarchical regression. The results indicate that the mother’s psychological control predicted deep exploration, the father’s psychological control predicted commitment, whereas emotional autonomy predicted low commitment. In addition, emotional autonomy was not a moderator between parental psychological control and identity formation. These findings indicate that parental psychological control and emotional autonomy have different roles in identity formation according to the context in Indonesia.
