Abstract
The phenomenon of fatherlessness, referring to the physical and emotional absence of a father figure, has emerged as a concerning social issue in Indonesia. This condition significantly impacts interpersonal communication development, including romantic relationships, particularly among Generation Z individuals who are actively forming their identities. This study aims to explore the motivations driving Generation Z students experiencing fatherlessness to form romantic relationships, understand the communication barriers they encounter, and interpret their lived experiences. This study employs a qualitative approach using phenomenological methodology grounded in symbolic interactionism theory. The research participants comprise five Generation Z students in Jakarta who have experienced fatherlessness, selected through purposive sampling. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that participants' motivations for forming romantic relationships are primarily driven by emotional needs and the desire to establish meaningful, committed relationships. The communication barriers identified include psychological factors such as lack of openness, low levels of trust, difficulties in emotional regulation, challenges in expressing feelings, a sense of awkwardness and difficulty in verbally conveying affection, emotional dependency, as well as physical barriers related to distance. The meanings participants derive from these experiences encompass the benefits of romantic relationships as vehicles for learning, self-healing processes, and reconstructing paternal role models. This study concludes that fatherlessness significantly influences communication patterns in romantic relationships among Generation Z students. Future research should explore larger sample sizes and greater participant diversity to enhance understanding of this phenomenon.

Kondisi ini berdampak pada perkembangan komunikasi interpersonal, termasuk dalam relasi romantis, khususnya pada Generasi Z yang berada dalam fase pembentukan identitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui motif mahasiswa Generasi Z yang mengalami fatherless dalam menjalin relasi romantis, memahami pengalaman hambatan komunikasi yang dihadapi, serta memaknai pengalaman tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi fenomenologi berlandaskan landasan teori interaksionisme simbolik. Subjek penelitian adalah lima mahasiswa Generasi Z di Jakarta yang mengalami fatherless, dipilih secara purposive sampling. Data primer diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motif informan menjalin relasi romantis dilatarbelakangi oleh kebutuhan emosional dan keinginan membangun hubungan serius.

Makna yang diperoleh dari pengalaman tersebut mencakup manfaat relasi romantis sebagai wahana pembelajaran proses penyembuhan diri (healing), dan rekonstruksi peran ayah Kesimpulan penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa pengalaman fatherless memengaruhi komunikasi dalam relasi romantis mahasiswa Generasi Z. Disarankan penelitian selanjutnya mengeksplorasi jumlah dan variasi subjek penelitian, serta mempertimbangkan perbedaan gender, latar belakang budaya, Kata Kunci: Komunikasi Interpersonal, Fatherless, Hambatan Komunikasi, Generasi Z, Relasi Romantis
