Abstract

Toxic relationships within romantic contexts are increasingly prevalent among university students, often leading to negative mental health outcomes and distorted interpersonal dynamics. This study investigates how interpersonal communication unfolds in the context of toxic dating relationships among students of the Communication Science Department at Dehasen University. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected via in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation from three informants who had experienced excessive control, emotional manipulation, and verbal abuse in their relationships. Findings indicate a breakdown in key interpersonal communication traits—openness was suppressed due to manipulative reactions, empathy was absent as partners lacked mutual understanding, supportiveness took the form of control rather than care, positive attitudes eroded into emotional fatigue, and equality was replaced with domination. The study highlights the need for increased awareness of healthy communication, early recognition of relational toxicity, and institutional support for students at risk. These insights contribute to the broader discourse on student mental health, character education, and interpersonal relationship management in higher education settings.

Abstract

Effective communication is the process of delivering messages precisely so that they can be clearly understood by the message recipient. In various contexts, both personal and professional, effective communication plays a significant role because it can influence the outcomes of interactions and relationships between individuals. The purpose of this research is to understand effective communication between coaches and Tunas Muda Bengkulu Team in building good relationships. This research is of qualitative type. The theory used is the theory of effective communication according to Devito. The results of this study indicate that, first, openness: the coach of Tunas Muda Bengkulu Team prioritizes open, clear, and supportive communication, which helps build trust and create a collaborative atmosphere within the team. Second, empathy: the coach builds effective communication through an open and honest approach, listening to the players' problems and hopes. Third, supportive attitude: the coach supports the team's morale, especially in difficult situations, by providing clear directions and motivational words, helping the team stay focused and enthusiastic. Additionally, support from teammates, who strengthen each other, enhances a positive atmosphere and builds the team's mental strength to face challenges on the field. Fourth, a positive attitude: the coach gives constructive criticism in a supportive manner, beginning with appreciation for the players' efforts to maintain their spirit. Fifth, equality: in the relationship between coach and players, fair treatment does not always mean the same treatment for everyone. The coach may give more attention to players who have important roles in the team's strategy, but this is done for the overall interest of the team, not favoritism. Thus, effective communication between the coach and Tunas Muda Bengkulu Team in building good relationships can serve as a reference for the application of effective communication theory according to Devito.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze communication patterns between leaders and staff in the Protocol and Leadership Communication Division (Prokopim) of the Seluma Regency Regional Secretariat. Organizational communication is understood as a mechanism that regulates the flow of information and influences the effectiveness of bureaucratic work. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation of the Head of Division, Head of Subdivision, functional officials, and implementing staff. Based on Keith Davis's (1953) communication pattern theory (R. Wayne Pace & Don F. Faules (2010)), the results show that the communication pattern in Prokopim is adaptive. The Wheel and Chain patterns dominate hierarchical formal communication, while the Y-Pattern emerges in inter-agency coordination with the Subdivision Heads as liaisons. At the operational level, the Circle pattern is evident in horizontal discussions among staff, while the All-Channel pattern develops through the use of digital media such as WhatsApp. These findings indicate that the diversity of communication patterns supports smooth work, but there are still obstacles in the form of dependence on leaders, delays in information, and suboptimal management of digital communication. Therefore, delegation of authority, simplification of information channels, and strengthening of digital archives are needed to improve the effectiveness of organizational communication.
