AFFILIATE MOTIVATE WITH ADJUSTMENTS IN SCHOOL

Abstract

This research is motivated by the lack of good and effective self-adjustment abilities in Muhammadiyah orphanage youths, which hinders social interaction when they are in the school environment and their affiliation motives become hampered. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between affiliation motives and adjustment in school for adolescents at the Putra Muhammadiyah Sungai Penuh Orphanage. This type of research is a correlational study with a population of 30 people. The sampling technique used in this research is saturated sampling, which means that the entire population is the sample. Based on the results of the Spearman Rank calculation, the correlation coefficient between affiliation motives and self-adjustment in school is r = 0.219 with a significant level of 0.05. From these results, it can be concluded that the affiliation motive is related to adjustment at school in adolescents, meaning that adolescents who have a high affiliation motive will make good adjustments when they are in their school environment. Thus, it is stated that there is a low and positive relationship between affiliation motives and adjustment in school for adolescents at the Putra Aisyiyah Orphanage in Sungai Penuh.
