Abstract

Bullying and seniority are phenomena that can be found across various social groups and age ranges. These behaviors occur not only among children or adolescents but also in daily interactions, including among the elderly. In nursing homes, for example, bullying persists despite the physical limitations that aging brings. This study aims to explore the impact and the underlying factors that contribute to seniority and bullying behaviors among older people. A qualitative approach was used, employing the photo-elicitation technique, with two participants who met the selection criteria. The results of the study indicate that seniority and bullying behaviors among older people are influenced by early character development, particularly by authoritarian parenting styles, as well as the social conditions that create bullying victims. The consequences of these behaviors include social sanctions, such as being ostracized from interaction with other residents.

Abstract

This study explores the theoretical framework of social support and resilience among survivors of the Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcanic eruption. Given the psychological and emotional challenges faced by survivors in the aftermath of a disaster, social support plays a vital role in recovery. The proposed hypothesis suggests that stronger social support from sources such as family, friends, and the community enhances resilience. A quantitative method was employed through surveys to assess both the level of social support received and the strength of the survivors. The results indicate a positive correlation between social support and resilience; survivors who received greater support demonstrated higher levels of resilience. These findings underscore the significance of community-based support systems in facilitating individuals' recovery from traumatic experiences and rebuilding their lives after natural disasters.
