DAMPAK KESADARAN BERAGAMA ORANG TUA TERHADAP PERILAKU REMAJA DI DESA LAE MOTONG KEC. PENANGGALAN KOTA SUBULUSSALAM

Abstract

Adolescent behavior is an important aspect of human resource development because adolescence represents a transitional period that is highly vulnerable to social, cultural, and technological influences. In this context, the family plays a strategic role as the primary environment for shaping children's values, character, and behavior. However, increasingly complex social changes may weaken adolescents’ moral and religious values. This study aims to examine the description of parents’ religious awareness and its impact on adolescent behavior in Lae Motong Village, Penanggalan District, Subulussalam City. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The participants consisted of parents and adolescents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that parental religious awareness is manifested through role modeling, religious habituation, supervision, and religious communication within the family. These practices facilitate the internalization of religious values that significantly influence adolescent behavior. The identified impacts include increased religious commitment, the development of religious identity, enhanced self-regulation, stronger moral awareness, and greater selectivity in social interactions and peer relationships. The findings indicate that parental religious awareness serves as a fundamental basis for developing adolescent character and moral resilience amid contemporary social transformations.
