1 INTRODUCTION

Wartini (Rosidah, 2016) isolated students are

students who experience alienation from their

environment, such as not having friends or friends.

Isolation is divided into two, namely involuntary

subjective, namely " a child assumes that he feels

wasted in his environment, while an objective

involuntary " otherwise he experiences rejection in a

group or a community.

Based on the understanding of isolated

children, that there are problems within themselves

due to their nature that make students not want to

socialize. That act will later make students become

isolated in their groups. According Cherry (Hidayati,

2015) these conditions can lead to loneliness, but the

feeling of loneliness that is common or frequently

occurs in individuals and different.

Isolated students have the following

characteristics, these characteristics are based on

research from Elsa and Najlatun (Rosidah, 2016)

which states that isolated students prefer to do their

own activities, when there are assignments from the

teacher he often does not get groups, does not dare

to answer or express his opinion, when he breaks he

is silent himself, not friends. Researchers also found

the same event with the study of Elsa and Najlatun

(Rosidah, 2016), when researchers conducted

observations at school researchers see there are some

students who are in exile by a friend who is their

environment and isolated students doing various

activities alone.

Peplau and Perlman (Hapsari and Ariana,

2015) the relationship of isolated students with

loneliness is when a child who is struggling to make

friends in the school environment has different

needs. Where these needs of children experience

rejection in the environment of their peers, when that

child feels loneliness he thinks that his social life is

narrow and limited not as desired.

Loneliness according to Cherry (Hidayati,

2015) is a feeling that often occurs in individuals,

the situation is different in accordance with its

portion. As for the shortage of loneliness, people

experiencing loneliness lonely life will feel no

passion, and assume social life less than they

wanted. While the advantages of this loneliness ,

researchers see from various definitions there are no

advantages in loneliness itself.

According to Nisa (2017), the game truth or

dare (honest or challenge) is a game with techniques

which later can provide convenience in providing

group guidance services. This game is related to

loneliness, in order to reduce loneliness in students,

a truth or dare game is needed, because this game

has already been used in research and is effective.

Based on research from Nisa (2017) that the

use of the truth or dare game excretory system

affects student learning outcomes. This is evidenced

by the honest game or the challenge there is a good

influence than those who do not use the game.

Based on the phenomenon and research results

of Gibson and Mitchell (Rosidah, 2016) that to

reduce the level of isolation of students, it is

necessary to hold group guidance with the aim that

someone can understand himself, prevent problems,

be able to improve themselves, and undergo

development optimally. In addition, to overcome

students who are isolated researchers also use truth

or dare techniques . Isolated students need to

practice social skills so that the game will help them

to be accepted in their group of course with a

relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Whereas based on information through

observation with class IX BK teachers at Belawang

1 Public High School students who experienced

loneliness in isolated students almost 40% occurred,

these students were students who were less

socialized, shunned by peers, students left by their

parents traveling far, broken home, and so.

Loneliness in isolated students is a big problem

for BK teachers and students, especially from body

health can be decreased because the influence of

social pressure and student achievement of isolated

students will also decrease due to negative impacts

experienced by students.

Based on the explanation above, it can be

explained that group guidance is a process of

providing assistance to individuals by utilizing

group dynamics. While the truth or dare technique

for isolated students functions to make individuals

practice their social skills and also help them to be

accepted by a group. The researcher will take 48

samples of class IX students to be given group

guidance with the truth or dare technique , of the 48

students who experienced loneliness, they

wereexpected to reduce or decrease loneliness in

isolated students.

2 METHOD

The research design used in this study is Pre-

Experimental Design The One Pretest-Posttest

Group . In this design one subject group is used

without a comparison group. In the design of this

study, subjects were given treatment with two

measurements. First, the initial measurement ( pre-

test ) of the level of loneliness in isolated students

before the treatment was carried out, then carried out

a treatment for a period of time with the guidance of

the truth or dare technique group . Then a re-

measurement ( post-test ) was carried out to see

whether or not there was a treatment effect on

changes in the loneliness score in isolated students.

The population in this study were 55 respondents

and a sample of 48 respondents. To measure the

level of loneliness the researcher used R-UCLA

loneliness scale from Russell, each of which had

been translated into Indonesian, with choices of

choice which often felt (SM), felt (M), sometimes

felt (KM), and never felt (TPM ) the total number of

items of this scale is 20, with 10 positive items and

10 negative items.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

FDescriptions of the results of this study are

presented in the form of tables, graphs and images.

Treatment in this study was carried out by

researchers, group members and guidance and

counseling teachers. The results of the pre-test and

post-test are presented in the following graph:

Figure 1. Comparison of Student Loneliness Levels Before

and After Given Guidance Group with Truth or Dare

Based on the results of the pre-test calculation of the

48 samples obtained the average loneliness with a

value of 55 , 87 . After being given group guidance

with the truth or dare technique to reduce loneliness

in isolated students tended to decrease by 54 , 35

with a decrease in score of 1.97 and also an increase

in loneliness with a score of 0.45 . So it can be

concluded that group guidance with an effective

truth or dare technique to reduce loneliness in

isolated students is seen from changes that occur

before and after treatment is given .

Then for data analysis researchers used a paired

sample-test where to do the test, the data must be

normally distributed first. So, the researcher used the

Shapiro Wilk normality test to test whether the pre-

test and post-test data were normally distributed or

not. The following are the results of the Shapiro

normality test the researcher presented in tables and

figures:

Shapiro-Wilk

Statisctic Df Sig

Pre-Test .968 48 .218

Post-Tes .977 48 .477

Figure 2. Pre-Test

Figure 3. Post-Test

Based on the tables and figures above, the

results of the Shapiro Wilk normality test show that

the significance value for the pre-test is 0.218> 0.05

and the significance value for the post-test is 0.477>

0.05. Then it can be concluded that the data for the

pre-test and post - test is normally distributed.

Then, to find out the variable X has an effect

on the Y variable, it is necessary to test the

hypothesis. To test the hypothesis the researcher

used data analysis techniques, namely paired sample

test , with the help of SPSS version 22.

Thefollowing is the formulation of the hypothesis.

Formulation H ipotesis:

Ha: If sig <0.05, the hypothesis Ha is accepted,

meaning that variable X is significant towards

variable Y.

Ho: If sig> 0.05, the hypothesis is rejected, meaning

that variable X is not significant to variable Y.

Next, the researcher will explain the results of

data analysis using a paired sample test, the

following is presented by the researcher in the form

of a table:

Table 2. Paired Sample Test

Variable Mean Sig. Sig. (2

tailed)

Pre-Test &

Post-Tes

1.52083 0,000 0,004

Based on the table above shows that the

significance level is 0.004 <0.05, which means that

the hypothesis in this study variable X determines

significantly to the variable Y. Thus Ha is accepted

and Ho is rejected. So the conclusion of the

hypothesis is that there is the influence of providing

group guidance services using truth or dare to reduce

loneliness in isolated students. Its effectiveness in

this study can be seen based on the significance

value (2-tailed) of 0.004 if it is used as a percentage

of effectiveness in this study amounting to 0 , 4 %.

This study relates to research from Nastiti and

Naqiyah (2013), that the game technique in group

guidance can reduce the level of loneliness in

isolated students. This can be seen by the reduction

in scores between the initial questionnaire and the

final questionnaire. After being given treatment by

the group game techniques, the scores of isolated

students can decrease.
