Abstract

This study aimed to explain the dynamic of jothakan as a conflict resolution in Javanese friendship. Participants of this research consisted of five Javanese adolescences who were familiar with and had experienced jothakan. Data were collected through in-depth interview and analyzed using content analysis. The result showed that jothakan happened when one or both parties felt right and was difficult to forgive his/her friend’s mistakes. It was done to avoid open conflict and hope the problem fixed itself. The duration of jothakan was one until three days in average. Sometimes during this period, someone realized that his/her mistake was not a big deal so that it could be forgiven or forgotten. This phase is called mupus. Whenever someone could mupus then he/she could be in peace with him/herself so he/she could behave well again when interacting with others (wawuh). This process sometimes needs intervention from the third party, such as teachers or parents. Hence, it could be understood that jothakan may become a conflict resolution when it is used as an opportunity to introspect somebody's mistake so that he/she can make peace voluntarily then a solid harmony may exist.
