ABSTRACT
Students often experience various difficulties in establishing social interactions during their university studies, such as low self-confidence, difficulty initiating communication with others, and a tendency to withdraw from their social environment. These barriers can simultaneously affect students’ academic, psychological, and social development. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Social Skill Training (SST) in improving social skills among university students experiencing difficulties in social interaction. The study employed a Single Subject Research (SSR) method with an A-B-A design and involved a sample of two students selected using purposive sampling based on the criteria of students experiencing difficulties in social interaction. The SST intervention was conducted over eight days, focusing on four aspects of social skills: Environmental Behavior, Interpersonal Behavior, Self-Related Behavior, and Task-Related Behavior. The intervention was delivered through modeling, role play, discussion, and self-monitoring-based tasks. The data were analyzed using visual analysis within and between conditions by examining changes in level, trend direction, and the percentage of overlapping data. The results showed an improvement in social skills in both subjects after participating in SST, as indicated by score increases of 51 points for the first subject and 71 points for the second subject. These findings indicate that SST is effective as a psychological intervention to help improve university students’ social skills in higher education settings.
ABSTRAK
Mahasiswa sering mengalami berbagai kendala dalam menjalin interaksi sosial selama menjalani perkuliahan, seperti rendahnya rasa percaya diri, kesulitan memulai komunikasi dengan orang lain, serta kecenderungan untuk membatasi diri dari lingkungan sosial. Hambatan tersebut dapat memengaruhi perkembangan akademik, psikologis, dan sosial mahasiswa secara bersamaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas Social Skill Training (SST) dalam meningkatkan keterampilan sosial pada mahasiswa yang mengalami kesulitan berinteraksi sosial. Penelitian menggunakan metode Single Subject Research (SSR) dengan desain A-B-A dan melibatkan sampel sebanyak dua mahasiswa yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling berdasarkan kriteria mahasiswa yang mengalami kesulitan dalam berinteraksi sosial. Pelaksanaan SST berlangsung selama delapan hari dengan fokus pada empat aspek keterampilan sosial, yaitu Environmental Behavior, Interpersonal Behavior, Self-Related Behavior, dan Task-Related Behavior. Intervensi diberikan melalui teknik modeling, role play, diskusi, serta tugas berbasis self-monitoring. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis visual dalam kondisi dan antar kondisi dengan memperhatikan perubahan level, kecenderungan arah, dan persentase data yang tumpang tindih. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan keterampilan sosial pada kedua subjek setelah mengikuti SST, yang ditandai dengan kenaikan skor sebesar 51 poin pada subjek pertama dan 71 poin pada subjek kedua. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa SST efektif digunakan sebagai intervensi psikologis untuk membantu meningkatkan keterampilan sosial mahasiswa di lingkungan perguruan tinggi.
