Abstract

ABSTRACT

This article explains the conceptual framework of an emotional regulation training module designed for parents who commit in act of child abuse in Yogyakarta. In the previous study, 330 parents of early childhood were surveyed in 4 sub-districts in Yogyakarta (Gondomanan, Umbulharjo, Gedongtengen, and Ngampilan) using the closes-ended questionnaire. Data shows 63% of respondents agree that child abuse should not be done and 35% of respondents agree that child abuse can be done only with clear and legal reasons. Surprisingly 98% of respondents reported that they have committed violence to their children physically or non-physically. This phenomena is critical because the parents’ perception about child abuse does not prevent them from committing such behavior. According to the literature review, this condition can be caused by lackness of the emotion regulation of parents. Emotional regulation allows individuals to experience emotional control that initiated from cognitive domain processors that have impact on the affective domain then affects their behavior. A total of 122 parents in the previous study had negative perceptions about their children, namely assuming that they were stubborn children. This condition may negative affections and triggers parents to hurt children. Therefore parents must be able to regulate their emotions to prevent child abuse triggered by anger. Through the results of the research and literature review, we designed an emotional regulation training module for parents who commit in act of child abuse. This emotional regulation training module was developed using Gross (1998) emotional regulation strategies which in five stages that are situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive change, and response modulation. The researcher developed the five stages of the strategy into relevant training activities to increase emotional regulation in parents. The model has been validated by experts and will be trained to parents who commit in child abuse in Yogyakarta.
