Altruism Behavior In The Midst Of A Student Moral Crisis

Abstract

The transition that occurs in adolescence, namely the change from childhood to adulthood, poses its own problems. This is the biggest factor that can affect the psyche of a teenager. This study aims to prove the importance of altruism intelligence in suppressing juvenile delinquency. The research design used in this article is ex post facto. The design is a systematic empirical investigation in which science controls independent variables directly because the existence of these variables has occurred, or because the variables basically cannot be manipulated, or in other words there is a cause-and-effect relationship between variables. The population in this study was 54 students of department X at Tarutung State Institute for Christian Studies, with a sample of 35 people. The results showed that altruistic behavior was able to influence student behavior by 63%. Thus, the increase in altruistic behavior has the potential to reduce the rate of juvenile delinquency that occurs today.
