Persepsi Peserta Didik terhadap Perilaku Catcalling

Abstract

This research is survey research that aims to determine the perceptions of students, namely college students and students towards catcalling behavior. Not all college students and students agree that catcalling is sexual harassment, and not a few consider it indecent behavior. The method used in this research is a quantitative descriptive research method to describe college students and students’ perceptions of catcalling behavior when they receive catcalling from strangers of the same sex, strangers of the opposite sex, friends of the same sex, friends of the opposite sex, siblings of the same sex, siblings of the opposite sex, relatives/family of the same sex, and relatives/family of the opposite sex. To measure how student perceive catcalling behavior, a continuous rating scale is used with a scale of 0-10; scores 0 (never), 1 (very comfortable), and 10 (very uncomfortable). The results of this research show that college students feel very uncomfortable with the catcalling behavior they receive from strangers of the opposite sex and friends of the opposite sex. This is known from the high percentage value of categorization carried out by researchers in the very uncomfortable category. The limitations of this research are (1) the large number of statement items that must be answered, so there is a possibility that respondents will get bored reading and filling them out, especially for student respondents, (2) the number of respondents is less than the predetermined number of samples.
