Pelatihan Empati untuk Meningkatkan Kecerdasan Emosi pada Anak-Anak yang Memiliki Insecure Attachment

Abstrak / Ringkasan

The phenomenon of insecure attachment in elementary school-aged children often hinders
the development of their emotional intelligence and social interaction. This study aims to examine
the effectiveness of empathy training as an intervention to improve emotional intelligence and
empathy in children aged 10–13 years identified as having insecure attachment.
This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a
pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects consisted of 40 elementary school students at an
educational foundation in Bekasi City, who were divided into an experimental group and a control
group. Data analysis was conducted using a paired sample t-test to measure internal group
effectiveness and an independent sample t-test to compare the results between the experimental and
control groups.
The results show that empathy training had a significant effect on the improvement of
empathy (t = -4.077; p < 0.05) and emotional intelligence (t = -9.772; p < 0.05) in the experimental
group. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in post-test results between the experimental
group, which achieved a mean emotional intelligence score of 72.75, and the control group, which
scored only 63.60. Empathy training proved to be an effective intervention strategy for strengthening
the foundation of emotional intelligence and social skills in children with insecure attachment. This
training model is recommended as an applicable support program in both educational settings and
child psychology institutions to mitigate the negative impacts of insecure attachment patterns on
children's future psychosocial development.
