Family Support and Self-Disclosure with Loneliness in Overseas Students

Abstract

Loneliness is a subjective feeling that arises in overseas students due to the lack of close interpersonal relationships they feel with others. Therefore, family support and self-disclosure are needed for overseas students to avoid feeling lonely. This study's subjects were overseas students pursuing higher education, with a sample of 91 students. The sampling technique was accidental sampling. The measuring instrument in this study used a data collection method in the form of a Likert scale consisting of three scales, namely the Loneliness Scale and the Family Support and Self-Disclosure Scale. The data were analyzed using multiple predictor multiple regression analysis techniques assisted by the JASP 0.16.1.0 for windows program. The results showed a correlation value of r = 0.354 with a significant level of p = 0.003 (p <0.01), which means the hypothesis is accepted that there is a significant relationship between Family Support and Self-Disclosure with Loneliness in Overseas Students with R2 = 0.227 which states both variables free to make an effective contribution of 22.7%.
