Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of parenting styles on adolescent altruism. Altruism, defined as helping others without expecting anything in return, is an important aspect of adolescent social and moral development. This study involved three parents and three adolescents aged 16-17 years in Pahlawan Village, Medan Perjuangan District. The research method used was descriptive qualitative. Data were collected through interviews that measured parenting styles (authoritarian, democratic, and permissive) and levels of adolescent altruism. The results showed that democratic parenting had a significant and positive relationship with adolescents' altruistic attitudes. Adolescents raised in three democratic parenting styles tended to have higher altruistic attitudes. Conversely, authoritarian and permissive parenting did not show a statistically significant relationship with altruistic attitudes. This study concludes that parenting styles that emphasize discussion, emotional warmth, and the giving of responsibility (democratic) play an important role in shaping caring and helpful personalities. These findings have practical implications for parents and educators to focus more on approaches that promote empathy and cooperation in educating children

Abstract

The emotional condition of the first-born son in Batak culture is influenced by the high expectations of the family, which are rooted in the patrilineal kinship system. This study aims to analyze the emotional condition of the first-born sons of the Batak Mandailing and Angkola in carrying their family's expectations while pursuing education at the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication, State Islamic University of North Sumatra, and to examine the relationship between emotional condition and physical aspects, cognitive aspects, and the influence of the patrilineal structure on their psychological experiences. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. The research informants were six undergraduate students of the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra, Class of 2022, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The research results show that the first-born boys experience emotional dynamics such as pride, responsibility, motivation, anxiety, fear of disappointing their parents, and inner conflict due to high family expectations. These pressures affect physical aspects, like fatigue, sleep disturbances, headaches, and heart palpitations, as well as cognitive aspects, including overthinking, difficulty concentrating, indecision, and fear of failure. In addition, the patrilineal structure and Batak cultural values, namely hamoraon, hagabeon, and hasangapon, shape their identity as family successors while also serving as sources of motivation and emotional pressure. The informants manage these conditions through religiosity, social support, and commitment to achievement. This study shows that the emotional state of the first-born Batak boy is the result of the interaction between family expectations, cultural values, and individual psychological experiences. These findings contribute to the development of cultural psychology studies and form the basis for strengthening culturally-based guidance and counseling services in universities.
