1 INTRODUCTION

Consumptive behavior is a very basic characteristic

of everyone's life. Consumptive behaviour can be

said to be the behaviour to use every item that exists.

Consumptive behaviour is excessive and irrational

buying behaviour without prioritizing needs.

Consumptive behaviour is mostly carried out with

the aim of meeting a need both primary and tertiary

needs. "The need is related to the value of the use of

an object in order to fulfill the utility function or

basic human needs" (Tambunan, 2001: 1). Whether

or not consumptive behaviour depends on the

situation and conditions. It does not matter when

consumptive behavior is supported by a sufficient

supply of funds. But along with the times, most

consumptive behaviour is only done to fulfill

satisfaction and follow current trends. This happens

a lot in our environment especially supported by the

era of globalization and the development of

technology that is so sophisticated. Consumptive

behaviour is a phenomenon that affects many

people's lives, especially those living in urban areas.

Consumptive behaviour does not recognize

gender and age, this can be seen from the number of

adolescents included in the group that behaves

consumptively. In general, the factors that make

teenagers often behave consumptively can be

divided into internal factors and external factors.

"This internal factor consists of motivation, self-

esteem, observation, learning process, personality,

and Locus Of Control (LOC). While external factors

that can influence consumer behaviour include

culture, social class, interaction groups, and families

"(Kotler, 2000: 238).

Teenagers make excessive purchases without

paying attention to their needs but to be accepted by

their environment, increase prestige, prestige and to

be different from their environment. Tambunan

(2001: 1) said that "the need to be accepted and

become the same as other people is what causes

adolescents to try to follow the attributes that are

becoming fashionable and tend to behave

consumptively". Teenagers choose and buy

something without thinking about its benefits,

meaning that teens are less selective in choosing

which needs are essential and which needs are less

important. Teenagers are potential buyers of

products such as clothing, shoes, cosmetics and even

food. Adolescents can be categorized as including

consumptive behaviour if the adolescent shows

behaviour that consumes things that are actually not

needed excessively. The purpose of this behaviour is

only to achieve maximum satisfaction. If teenagers

buy goods only to gain recognition from other

people without rational consideration, it will cause

teenagers to become more entangled in consumptive

behavior. Adolescents who are entangled in

consumptive behavior will become unfulfilled. As a

result there is a waste because teenagers spend most

of their money to pursue prestige alone. Parents will

certainly object if most of the money given to their

children is used for things that are not useful.

Student problems regarding consumptive

behaviour at school require a relief effort. Guidance

and counseling services are needed in order to

conduct curative efforts related to personal and

social problems of students. There is also a type of

guidance and counseling services that are carried out

in alleviating joint problems, namely group

counseling services, this service is one of the

guidance and counseling services in schools. Group

counseling service is a service effort provided to

students to be able to overcome and alleviate the

problems they experience together, both personal

and social,

Group Counseling there are several techniques,

one of which is self management technique is

derived from cognitive behavioral modification and

cognitive behaviorism therapy. Self management

techniques are clumps or techniques that are rooted

in the expansion of the theory of operant

conditioning with social cognitive techniques (Anita,

2009: 301). Self management in general means

making students involved in the basic steps in

behavior change programs. The basic assumption in

behavioral cognitive counseling in this case is how

the group counseling process in changing cognitive

can play an important role in the process of self

management and behavior changes that are

controlled by interactions in internal and external

events or environmental forces that influence it

outside the group counseling session.

Self management techniques include self-

monitoring, mastery of stimuli (control-control) and

positive reincorcement (self-reward) (Nursalim,

2013: 149). Practically, Self management techniques

have advantages, namely: increasing individual

understanding of the environment and reducing

dependence on counselors or others, practical,

inexpensive and easy and easy to answer. Self

management techniques can contribute to reducing

consumer behavior in students. Self management

techniques in this study are a strategy of changing

and developing behavior that emphasizes the

importance of personal endeavors and

responsibilities to change and develop their own

behavior. Changing this behavior in the process is

mostly done by the student (counselee) concerned,

not directed or even forced by another person

(counselor). So that in this study given a

development of a specific group counseling

approach model to reduce consumption, namely

group counseling models with self management

techniques.

2 RESEARCH METHODS

The type of research used is experimental (non-

parametric) research. Sugiyono (2012: 107) states

that "experimental research is defined as a research

method used to find out the influence of certain

treatments on others under controlled conditions".

The reason researchers use this experimental pattern

is to see the effect of a treatment (group counselling

with self management techniques) on other variables

(consumptive behaviour).

Research design is all the processes needed in

planning and conducting research. This study

included quasi-experimental design, using one group

pre test and post test design. With this design there is

no control group determined. With the one group

method, pre test and post test design means that the

sample is given a test before and after getting a

certain treatment, so the subject is subject to two

measurements.

The place where research was conducted on

Reducing Consumptive Behaviour through Group

Counselling with Self Management Techniques for

Students of Banjarmasin 2 State High School "is a

Student at Banjarmasin 2 State Senior High School.

The researcher also took data from the Class

Trustees, Subject Teachers, Guidance and

Counseling Teachers at senior high school 2

Banjarmasin. The object of research is what is the

focus of research (Arikunto, 2007). The object of

this research is consumptive behaviour in high

school students. Data Collection Instrument: (1)

Observation, (2) Interview, (3) Scale of

Consumptive Behaviour. In the data collection

instrument researchers need to balance something

that has nothing to do so that it describes the real

reality (Sutoyo, 2012). Data Analysis Techniques:

quantitative analysis Quantitative analysis uses

independent t-test statistics to test comparisons

before following group counselling with self

management techniques and after participating in

group counselling with self management techniques.

Qualitative analysis according to Miles and

Huberman (in Sugiyono, 2011: 334) is done through

stages: (1) Data Collection, (2) Data Reduction, (3)

Data Presentation, (4) Withdrawal, (5) Conclusion.

Average 196 104 92 47

Based on the table above, it can be seen the

results of consumptive behaviour analysis after

participating in group counseling services with self

management techniques have decreased. From the

results of the analysis of consumptive behaviour

scale the average pre-test score is 196 in the high

category and the average post-test score is 104 in the

low category so that the average score decreases by

92 with an average percentage of 47%. Based on the

data above it can be concluded that from the results

of the analysis of consumptive behaviour scale there

is a decrease in consumptive behaviour before and

after being given group counselling services with

self management techniques.

For more details, the results of the analysis of

consumptive behaviour scale can be described in

graphical form as follows.

Based on the calculation results in the table

above, it can be seen that t count (21.778)> t table

(0.703), so Ho (Zero Hypothesis is rejected) so that

it can be concluded that there are differences in the

scale of consumptive behaviour between before and

after group counselling with self management

techniques . From the mean value it can be seen that

the average mean value after group counseling with

self management techniques is lower than before

group counselling with self management techniques

with this it can be concluded that self management

technique counselling groups can reduce

consumptive behaviour.

Based on significance, it can be seen that the

significance of the table of 0,000 is less than 0.05, so

Ho is rejected. The conclusion is that there are

differences in consumptive scales between before

and after group counselling with management

techniques, so that self-management techniques are

effective to reduce consumptive behaviour.

4 DISCUSSION

Group counselling with self management techniques

at senior high school 2 Banjarmasin was conducted

4 times. This is done according to the indicators of

the consumptive behavior itself. The topic of group

counselling is more specific based on the purpose of

each meeting. Praktikan as group leader strives to

grow group dynamics, namely by using games (ice

breaking), which is done at the formation stage and

group dynamics are formed. If there are group

members who are passive and silent, then the

practitioner as a group leader tries to invite the

active by asking about the subject matter. Group

members are already quite active and each of them

has been very enthusiastic and open in expressing

their ideas and opinions so that the group leader as

an active leader in giving back responses and

guiding the course of activities gives attention by

continuing to keep eye contact with group members,

stay focused to all group members.

In determining the topic to be discussed, the

group leader presents examples of topics that are in

the trend and are widely discussed. Then the group

leader presents the topic to be discussed, the topic of

the assignment comes directly from the group

leader. But the group leader still gives the group

members the opportunity to do questions and

answers related to the topics discussed which cover

the importance of the topic discussed, what sub-

topics need to be discussed to discuss the topic. So

even though the topic comes from the group leader

but the sub-topics are discussed and the discussion

of each sub-topic is still carried out by members so

that members try to submit opinions and direct

members to be active and develop within the group's

guidance.

Communication in group counselling goes well

even better at each meeting and stays awake.

Facilities and infrastructure provided by group

leaders, including: Camera for documentation, List

of attendees, Laiseg (immediate service). All

members feel good impression with group

counseling activities. Members also want this

activity to be carried out regularly, adjusting to their

respective schedules. The group counseling with

assignment and free topics runs quite well. In

following this guidance and group, group members

are active in responding to the topics discussed.

Although sometimes there are group members who

are engrossed in their own activities, they still pay

attention to what is conveyed by group leaders and

other group members. This group guidance activity

ends with an agreement on the topic discussion as

well as alternative solutions to problems faced on

the topic. As well as members understand and can

determine for themselves, which alternatives are the

most appropriate and in accordance with the

members.

In the implementation of group counselling, the

assessment was carried out using UCA

(Understanding, Comfortable, Action) to find out

how the changes occurred after participating in

group counseling and counselling activities. UCA

(Understanding, Comfortable, Action) results

obtained from group guidance carried out on:

5 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results of data analysis can be

formulated several conclusions, namely as follows:

1. Consumptive behaviour of students before

participating in group counselling services with

196 self-management techniques included in the

high category. Consumptive behaviour of

students after participating in group counselling

services with self management techniques

amounting to 104 included in the low category.

2. Decreasing the consumptive behaviour of students

before and after getting treatment in the form of

group counselling services with self management

techniques of 92.

The calculation results in the table above, it

can be seen that t count (21.778)> t table (0.703),

so Ho (Zero Hypothesis is rejected) so that it can

be concluded that there are differences in the

scale of consumptive behaviour between before

and after group counselling with self

management techniques.

Based on the results of research and

discussion, some suggestions can be given,

including:

1. For counselors at school, it is expected to improve

competence in carrying out individual

counselling services by using appropriate

techniques to deal with student problems.

2. For the school, it is expected to provide

opportunities for school counselors to attend

seminars and guidance and counselling training,

especially group counseling because it is

effective in assessing students' consumptive

behaviour.
