Dinamika Dukungan Sosial dan Ketahanan Psikologis dalam Menghadapi Konflik Sosial di Masyarakat Perkotaan

Minggus S. Masela

Abstract


Social conflict is a common phenomenon in urban communities due to differences
in interests, values, and social backgrounds. Such conditions require individuals to possess
psychological resilience in order to adapt and manage emerging pressures. One factor that is
assumed to play an important role in enhancing psychological resilience is social support.
This study aims to examine the dynamics of social support and psychological resilience in
dealing with social conflict among urban communities. The research subjects consisted of
200 adults living in urban areas who had experienced social conflict in their residential
environment. This study employed a quantitative research method with purposive sampling
techniques. Data were collected using the Social Support Scale and the Psychological
Resilience Scale, both of which had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was
conducted using correlation and linear regression analysis. The results revealed a positive
and significant relationship between social support and psychological resilience. Social
support significantly contributes to individuals’ ability to endure, adapt, and recover from
stress caused by social conflict. These findings indicate that higher levels of social support
are associated with higher levels of psychological resilience. This study provides theoretical
and practical implications regarding the importance of strengthening social support to
enhance psychological resilience among urban communities facing social conflict.

Abstrak

Konflik sosial merupakan fenomena yang sering terjadi di masyarakat perkotaan
akibat perbedaan kepentingan, nilai, dan latar belakang sosial. Kondisi tersebut menuntut
individu untuk memiliki ketahanan psikologis agar mampu beradaptasi dan mengelola
tekanan yang muncul. Salah satu faktor yang diduga berperan penting dalam membangun
ketahanan psikologis adalah dukungan sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui
dinamika dukungan sosial dan ketahanan psikologis dalam menghadapi konflik sosial pada
masyarakat perkotaan. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 200 individu dewasa yang tinggal di
wilayah perkotaan dan pernah mengalami konflik sosial dalam lingkungan tempat
tinggalnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan teknik pengambilan
sampel purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian berupa Skala Dukungan Sosial dan Skala
Ketahanan Psikologis yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Analisis data dilakukan
menggunakan analisis korelasi dan regresi linear. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya
hubungan positif dan signifikan antara dukungan sosial dan ketahanan psikologis. Dukungan
sosial secara signifikan berkontribusi dalam meningkatkan kemampuan individu untuk
bertahan, beradaptasi, dan bangkit dari tekanan akibat konflik sosial. Temuan ini
menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi dukungan sosial yang diterima individu, semakin tinggi
pula tingkat ketahanan psikologisnya. Penelitian ini memberikan implikasi teoritis dan
praktis mengenai pentingnya penguatan dukungan sosial dalam upaya meningkatkan
ketahanan psikologis masyarakat perkotaan yang menghadapi konflik sosial.
