The Influence of Perceptions of Rules, Loneliness and Religiosity on Aggressive Behavior in Orphanage Children : Implications for Counseling Services

Khilman Rofi Azmi

Abstract

Aggressive behavior in children living in orphanages is an important concern because it can interfere with their socialization process and psychosocial development. Various factors are suspected to influence the emergence of aggressive behavior, including children's perceptions of the rules that apply in orphanages, the level of loneliness experienced, and the level of religiosity of children. This study aims to determine the effect of perceptions of rules, loneliness, and religiosity on children's aggressive behavior at the Tulungagung X Orphanage. The approach used is quantitative with multiple regression methods. The population in this study amounted to 30 orphanage children, with the sampling technique using total sampling. The instruments used are the aggressive behavior scale, the perception of rules scale, the loneliness scale, and the religiosity scale, all of which have been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was carried out with the help of Jamovi software. The results showed that simultaneously, the three independent variables had a significant influence on aggressive behavior (R² = 0.404; p < 0.001). Partially, only loneliness has a significant positive effect on aggressive behavior (p = 0.001), while perceptions of rules and religiosity have a negative effect on aggressive behavior. These findings indicate the importance of strengthening aspects of religiosity, enforcing orphanage rules and providing preventive social intervention programs to minimize loneliness in order to reduce aggressive behavior of children in orphanages.
