Abstract:
This paper examines the influence of Positive Youth Development (PYD) to Bullying Behavior in Indonesian Islamic Boarding School Students. It has been established that bullying behavior have negative outcomes for those involved. However, this problem has received little research attention in Indonesian samples, particularly in Indonesian Islamic Boarding School Students. The incidence of three types bullying was assessed in 195 sample: verbal bullying, mental and physical bullying. Samples are Islamic Boarding School students from all regions in Indonesia. Positive youth development was measured by using the validated Five Cs model of competence, confidence, connection, character, and caring/compassion. Using multiple regression analysis, results show that there is a significant influence from Positive Youth Development (PYD) to Bullying Behavior (0.168, p = 0.000). This research also explains the dimensions of PYD which have a significant prediction to decrease bullying behavior are
: character and connection. For further research, to decrease bullying behavior, we can design and implement a ‘character’ and ‘connection’ intervention program, within the student in Indonesian Islamic Boarding School.
