Abstract

Bullying victims have greater desire to develop themselves into a better person than the bully. In psychological terms, efforts to become a better person are called Personal Growth Initiatives (PGI). Individuals with good PGI will continue to strive to develop themselves. In this context, the PGI is in an academic setting. This PGI affects students’ Self-Regulated Learning (SRL). This SRL enables students to maintain their learning performance in order to get the desired learning outcomes. In the case of students who are victims of bullying, they have psychological characteristics that cause them not to be optimal in learning and fail in learning activities. This study aims to determine the effect of PGI on students’ SRL who become victims of bullying. In addition, this study also aims to reveal whether the PGI and SRL of bullying victims are affected by parents’ educational background. The subjects of this study are 42 students of become victims of bullying in Junior High School. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Data are collected using a Likert scale for PGI and SRL variables. The data are analyzed by using linear regression to determine the effect of PGI and SRL and ANOVA to determine the role of parents’ educational background in the students’ PGI and SRL. The results of statistical calculations show that PGI affect SRL (F = 36.120, p <0.001) and Y = 0.814 + 0.711X. The higher the PGI the greater the bullying victims’ SRL. Other results show parents’ educational background does not contribute to the students’ PGI and SRL. This means that different educational levels of the parents do not affect the PGI and SRL levels of their children, who become victims of bullying. The mean of bullying victims’ PGI about 3.2 – 3.4 and mean of SRL 3.0 – 3.2.
