The Relationship of Helicopter Parenting to Independence in Late Adolescents in Madiun

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between helicopter parenting and independence in late adolescents in Madiun. The hypothesis proposed in this study is that there is a negative relationship between helicopter parenting and independence in late adolescents in Madiun. The subjects in this study are late adolescents aged 17-22 years in Madiun, totaling 100 people—subject collection using the Purposive Sampling Technique. The data collection method uses the Independence and Helicopter Parenting Instrument scales. The data analysis technique uses Pearson correlation analysis. Based on the results of data analysis, a correlation value of r = 0.248 with p = 0.013 means a significant positive relationship between helicopter parenting and independence; this shows that the hypothesis proposed in this study is rejected. The determination coefficient (R2) obtained is 0.061, which shows that the helicopter parenting variable effectively contributes 6.1% to independence, and the rest is influenced by other factors that are not studied.
