SELF-CONTROL AND CONSUMPTIVE BEHAVIOR OF ADOLESCENTS IN AN ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL

Abstract

Consumptive behavior in adolescents has a negative impact on themselves and others,
especially the adolescents living in a boarding school area. Islamic boarding schools, known
for their simplicity, are gradually changing. The students' lifestyle that is not simple attracts
the attention of the researchers. For this reason, this study aims to determine the relationship
of self-control and the consumptive behavior of adolescents in a boarding school
environment. This research uses quantitative research methods with measuring the selfcontrol from Tangney and consumptive behavior from Fromm. The research population was
taken from Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School in Jombang. 237 active students at Darul
Ulum 2 Jombang High School with a duration of 30-45 minutes for each class were taken as
samples The data were analyzed using a statistical correlation test with the IBM SPSS
Version 20 program. The results show that self-control has a negative relationship with
moderate correlation strength, namely p = -0.509, which means there is a negative sign. The
negative sign indicates an inverse relationship between the two variables. Therefore, it can be
concluded that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, meaning that when self-control is high, the
consumptive behavior is low, and vice versa.
