Self -Concept of Generation Z in Parenting and Religiosity of Parents in Urban Society: Qualitative Approach in Dai Family

Abstract

The self-concept of Generation Z is influenced by many factors, i.e. the social environment with the developmeny of digital technology, and parents as the role of significant others. This qualitative case study examines parenting and the religiosity of parents in the formation of Generation Z’s selfconcept in urban society. In contrast to some previous research that studies the relation between a given parenting pattern and adolescent self-concept or the religiosity and mental health of family, which is interesting from this research because it is based on da’'s parenting and religion in forming adolescent self-concept in the digital era. Participants in the study consisted of three groups, father as dai, father and mother as dai, single mother as dai, and using data from interviews with parents and a generation Z cohort and participant’s observation. The assumption of this study is that a more positive self-concept is owned by members of the Generation Z cohort who have a father as a da'i with a mother applying religious value to adolescents. Keywords—Generation Z, parenting, religiosity, self-concept,
