Fight Bullying: Assertive Counseling Techniques Build Self-Disclosure Skills for Victims

Abstrak

Bullying is already an integral part of student life. This phenomenon warns that bullying behaviour needs attention because it significantly impacts the victim. This study aims to find and analyze alternatives to bullying problems with powerful counselling techniques. This research was carried out at SMA Negeri 3 North Luwu. This quantitative study uses a single-subject experimental design with multiple baselines across the subject design. The study subjects were selected based on the lowest self-disclosure scale scores and observation results. The subject is observed at the time of the baseline phase, that is, the phase without the administration of intervention. The frequency of target behaviour that appears is recorded and given assertive counselling interventions and then again observed. Next, it was analyzed using a visual graph of the baseline and intervention phases. The analysis of graphs and tables on baseline conditions showed low stable self-disclosure behaviour, but in the intervention phase, experienced a significant and varied increase. The results show that: 1) the application of powerful counselling techniques impacts positive interaction relationships between students. 2) The ability to self-disclosure shows feelings openly in interacting with others, overcoming problems that often occur in the school environment, developing learning achievements, and their interests and talents.
