Abstract

Currently, many adults have a hobby of collecting action figure toys, buying console games, or even playing with toys that are going viral. The reason for their behavior is they did not engage in these games when they were young, they could not afford to buy them, so when growing up and earning income, they bought toys that they had long hoped for. This facts are related to the unfinished business in childhood that exists in an individual. Without realizing it, this unfinished business causes a person to experience kidult behavior, which is a behavior where adults choose to enjoy interests and entertainment that are often associated with children. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the forecall method to reduce kidult behavior. Data were collected through a kidult scale, observation, and interview. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative explorations. The subjects in this study were adults aged 21 years and over who were identified as having kidult. Based on the paired sample t-test, p = 0.004 (p < 0.05) was obtained, indicating that there was a significant change in the experimental group before and after being given an intervention in the form of the forecall method. Then the independent t-test test obtained p = 0.010 (p < 0.05). This means that there is a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group. These results indicate that the forecall method can reduce kidult behavior.
