Abstract

This research aimed to determine the self-compassion and emotional maturity of street children assisted by KKSP (Kelompok Kerja Sosial Perkotaan) Medan. The study involved 300 street children selected using incidental sampling techniques. The teenagers involved in this study are street children aged 12-18 years old and most of them are assisted by the Kelompok Kerja Sosial Perkotaan (KKSP) Medan. The data was collected through questionnaires about self-compassion and emotional maturity of street children. The self-compassion scale was developed based on self-compassion theory by Kristin Neff (2015), consisted of three components: self-kindness vs. self-judgment, common humanity vs. isolation, and mindfulness vs. over-identification. Emotional maturity scale was developed based on the characteristics of emotional maturity according to Hurlock (2004) is emotional control, self-understanding and the use of critical mental functions. The results showed that subjects were categorized to the low self-compassion category is 1%, moderate self-compassion category is 39% and high self-compassion category is 60%. While the results of emotional maturity showed that no subject were categorized of low emotional maturity. The subjects were category to the moderate social maturity is 56% and high social maturity is 44%. In other words, it can be concluded that the largest group in self-compassion is in the high category and the emotional maturity is in medium.
