Abstract
The high level of technological advancement in Indonesia and the changing patterns of communication in family units can contribute to the development of the concept of the individual. Based on the theory of ecological, all forms of change in someone’s behavior to a centralized system of public order can also be seen based on environment. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the studies done concerning the quality of the physical environment, the pattern of family communication in an era of modernization, and its impact on students’ self-concept. This research was carried out in the Faculty of Engineering, State University of Jakarta. Data analysis was done using a simple correlation to see relationships between variables. Example on research amounts to 75 student diploma college D3 and S1 graduate Cosmetology Vocational Education. The results showed that the variable quality of the physical environment is associated with significant negative self-concepts of physical appearance, and with the significant positive self-concept in popularity. A variable pattern of family communication is associated with significant positive selfconcept of physical appearance and with significant negative self-concepts of behavior.
