TRUST TOWARD FATHER AND MOTHER: AN INDIGENOUS PSYCHOLOGY ANALYSIS ON CHILDREN'S TRUST TOWARD PARENTS
Abstract: A good
parent-child relationship is
an important factor
for positive behavior development in children as well as
protective factor for many problems and disorder. Trust between children and
parent will be basic component to build good relationship. The purpose of this
research was to explore whether or not children trust their parents and the
reason underline trust
toward parents. The
respondents (205 undergraduate students of UIN Sultan Syarif
Kasim Riau) completed two questions asking if you trusts your
mother and father,
then answer the
reason you trusts
mother and father.
An indigenous psychology approach was used to analys the data. T-test
analysis shows there is differences in trusting father and mother. Most of
respondents (76,58%) highly trust their
mothers, more than
toward father (57,07%).
The reasons to
trust mother are mother's character (38.05%), role
(30.24%), relation (22.93%), and reliable (8,78%). On the
other hand, children
trust father because
of father's role (36.59%),
relation (29.76%), character (23.41%), and reliable (6.83%). We conclude
the main reason to trust mother and
father are character
and role respectively.
This research suggests mothers to show more positive
characters and fathers to run the role in child-rearing practices.
