|
Who You Are research program was started in January and February 2019 in Bandung City at two universities, namely, Parahyangan University and Widyatama University. In April 2019, this program continued in Yogyakarta City at two universities, namely, UPN Veteran Yogyakarta and Indonesian Islamic University (UII), Yogyakarta. In August 2019, we continued in Jakarta City at UPN Veteran Jakarta. We took sample from 20 to 35 respondents in each university. In this program we were collaborated with the supervisors (lecturers) in respective university from various major programs such as International Relation, Public Administration, Management and Business. |
In addition, in August 2019, we conducted survey research in Parahyangan University, Bandung to 132 respondents in collaboration with Ms. Tutik Rachmawati PhD, as Head Department of Public Administration program.The purpose of this survey is to identify the cultural roots as well as motivation and behaviour of new college students in this major program. After we analysed the questionnaire, we announced the results to each respondent and we also sent the recapitulation and the result summary of this survey research to their supervisors.
Initial results analysis of this research is as follows :
1. The same phenotype or say, physical anthropology is not necessarily have the same cultural roots. Whilst, different phenotype is also not necessarily have different cultural roots. Thus, for us classification of human differences by racial consideration is misleading and cannot be further used in the society.
2. Respondents who have childhood trauma tend to have motivation and behaviour in difference with their cultural roots characteristics. This symptom can be reduced if the communities are more harmonious as we found the latter in Jakarta city. Thus, nurture period is actually important for the goodness of individuals’ motivation and behaviour.
3. More than 70% of the respondents recognised well of his/her own cultural roots characteristics, leading to have well knowledge on their tradition, cultural diversity and high consciousness of tolerance.
In summary, in 2019, this research program was involved 272 respondents from 5 universities in 3 cities of Indonesia. Based on the feedback and enthusiasm of the supervisors as well as the respondents to our survey research, we will continue and expand this survey research in 2020 to other cities in Indonesia at various universities.
