Penerimaan Sosial dan Empati Terhadap Teman Sebaya Pada Siswa Berkebutuhan Khusus

Social acceptance is a crucial factor that every individual needs to have, especially children with special needs, so that they are more valued and feel needed by others in close relationships, namely in social groups. Research on social acceptance among peers in students with special needs is interesting to explore more deeply, especially regarding how they feel accepted and integrated in social groups in the school environment. This study aims to analyze the relationship between social acceptance and empathy towards peers among students with special needs in inclusive schools. A total of 125 students from Banda Aceh City State Junior High School aged 12-16 years old (mean=13.6; SD=0.86) selected by convenience sampling technique filled out the Social Acceptance Scale (SAS) instrument and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) instrument which had been adapted into Indonesian. Data was analyzed using Pearson Correlation and showed that there was a correlation between social acceptance in the perspective taking dimension (r=0.287, p=0.001) and the empathic concern dimension (r=0.418, p=.001). However, there is no correlation between social acceptance in the fantasy dimension (r=0.150, p=0.095), and the personal distress dimension (r=0.106, p=0.240). The research findings also explain that both male and female students have high social acceptance.

Abstract

Social acceptance is a crucial factor that every individual needs to have, especially children with special needs, so that they are more valued and feel needed by others in close relationships, namely in social groups. Research on social acceptance among peers in students with special needs is interesting to explore more deeply, especially regarding how they feel accepted and integrated in social groups in the school environment. This study aims to analyze the relationship between social acceptance and empathy towards peers among students with special needs in inclusive schools. A total of 125 students from Banda Aceh City State Junior High School aged 12-16 years old (mean=13.6; SD=0.86) selected by convenience sampling technique filled out the Social Acceptance Scale (SAS) instrument and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) instrument which had been adapted into Indonesian. Data was analyzed using Pearson Correlation and showed that there was a correlation between social acceptance in the perspective taking dimension (r=0.287, p=0.001) and the empathic concern dimension (r=0.418, p=.001). However, there is no correlation between social acceptance in the fantasy dimension (r=0.150, p=0.095), and the personal distress dimension (r=0.106, p=0.240). The research findings also explain that both male and female students have high social acceptance. This has a positive impact on others, especially on students with special needs.Penerimaan sosial merupakan faktor krusial yang perlu dimiliki setiap individu terutama pada anak berkebutuhan khusus agar mereka lebih dihargai dan merasa diperlukan oleh orang lain dalam hubungan yang dekat yakni dalam kelompok sosial.
