MENGAPA PERILAKU BULLYING PADA SISWA DAPAT DIPENGARUHI OLEH KONTROL DIRI ?

The rise of bullying cases in schools is very concerning, especially for victims who often receive acts of bullying perpetrated by their own friends. Individuals who often receive bullying at school experience a number of psychological disorders such as anxiety, loneliness, feeling worthless and feeling unaccepted by their peers. Each individual has a mechanism that can help regulate and direct behavior called self-control. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-control and bullying behavior. Subjects amounted to 135 junior high school (SMP) students, sampling using purposive sampling technique. The data collection method used is the Likert Scale instrument which has been tested for validity and reliability with a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of self-control of 0.904 and bullying behavior of 0.895. The data obtained were analyzed using product moment correlation analysis. The results showed that there was a negative relationship between self-control and bullying behavior. The correlation coefficient was -0.574 (p<0.01). The higher the self-control, the lower the bullying behavior. The effective contribution of self-control to bullying behavior is 32.9%. This research is expected to be useful for knowing what predictors are factors that have a relationship with bullying behavior, so that it can be used as a reference for carrying out interventions to reduce bullying behavior in students
