KOMUNIKASI INTERPERSONAL PASANGAN TA'ARUF DALAM PERSPEKTIF SELF DISCLOSURE (Studi Pada Pasangan Ta'aruf Pranikah di Komunitas KUA Squad Kota Malang)

The Ta'aruf process involves self-disclosure by sharing personal data information with another Ta’aruf pair. The core issue in this research is how interpersonal communication in premarital Ta'aruf couples in the perspective of self-disclosure happen among the members of the KUA Squad Community in Malang. While this research’s purpose is to determine interpersonal communication conducted by premarital Ta'aruf couples in the perspective of self-disclosure. A qualitative descriptive approach is used in this research. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews and documentation. Data were collected through observations and interviews with four subjects who underwent the Ta'aruf process and were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Furthermore, the focus of this research is the self-disclosure dimension of Joseph A. DeVito. The Johari Window theory of Joe Luft and Harry Ingham which was used in this research had a four porch room like a window consisting of open areas, blind areas, closed areas and dark areas. Thus, according to the result, this study indicates that the self-disclosure of couples who do Ta'aruf in the KUA Squad Community in Malang has a wide open area because the subject has made self-disclosure on almost everything disclosed. So, the discussion is increasingly diverse, the blind area shrinks, the closed area widens. However, it is not as wide as the open area. While things happen in dark areas cannot be known because of how the small space the area has. When the Johari Window theory is used in the Ta'aruf process, the researcher finds that self-disclosure does not done maximally because the consideration of further decisions is caused by other reasons outside of self-disclosure which are not discussed in this paper
