Abstract
This study aims to determine the extent to which Christian parents’ democratic parenting style influences the formation of social character among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Sipoholon in the 2024/2025 academic year. The research hypothesis states that there is a positive and significant influence of Christian parents’ democratic parenting style on the formation of social character among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Sipoholon in the 2024/2025 academic year. The study employed a quantitative research method with both descriptive and inferential approaches. The population consisted of all eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 2 Sipoholon in the 2024/2025 academic year who are Protestant Christians, totaling 107 students. A random sampling technique was used, selecting 30% of students from each class, resulting in a sample of 32 respondents. The research instrument was a closed-ended questionnaire. The results of the data analysis are as follows: a) The correlation coefficient (rcount= 0.523 > rtable= 0.349) and ttest (tcount= 3.361 > ttable = 1.69726) indicate a positive and significant relationship between Christian parents’ democratic parenting style and the formation of students’ social character. b) The regression equation was obtained (not presented in detail here). c) The coefficient of determination test revealed that the influence accounted for 27.35%. d) The hypothesis test (Fcount= 29.679 > Ftable = 3.32) shows that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. The study concludes that Christian parents’ democratic parenting style has a positive and significant influence on the formation of social character among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Sipoholon in the 2024/2025 academic year.
