Pola Komunikasi Antara Anak dan Orang Tua Untuk Menjalin Hubungan Jarak Jauh

Abstract

This research aims to determine communication patterns in long-distance relationships between
children and parents from various regions to maintain good relationships. The communication
patterns that we take in this research are communication patterns towards children and parents which
vary according to (Yusuf, 2004), namely Authoritarian communication patterns, Permissive
communication patterns, Authoritative communication patterns. The method used in this research is
qualitative, where the data collection process in the field uses in-depth observation and interview
techniques. And this method uses the phenomenological method which focuses on the specificity and
identification of a phenomenon felt by individuals in a daily situation. It can also be used to study
similarities in the behavior of a group of people. The informants who were sources were 3 students at
Surabaya State University. This research not only shows the communication patterns carried out by
parents and overseas children in maintaining relationships, but also the communication carried out
by children and parents is less than optimal because they rely on the media as a communication
channel without face-to-face contact and limited communication. With different and limited
communication patterns between parents and overseas children, they will definitely feel different
things from the communication patterns that occur. The results of this research are that
communication between children and parents is limited and relies on media as a communication
channel, without face-to-face contact.
