They question their acceptance among new acquaintances and worry about effective communication and potential misunderstandings. This study explores the communication strategies employed by members of the South Sumatran student association to alleviate uncertainty. Drawing upon the uncertainty reduction theory by Charles Berger and Richard Calabrese (1975), the research delves into utilizing communication as a tool to navigate uncertainty, understand strangers, and predict their behavior during initial interactions. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the study conducted in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation for data collection. Findings revealed that cognitive uncertainty stemmed from a lack of familiarity with Yogyakarta's conditions and challenges adapting to the local community's characteristics. Initial language barriers, particularly with the Javanese language, hindered interactions. Students utilized passive, active, and interactive strategies to mitigate uncertainty and foster empathy as part of their socialization and integration with the Yogyakarta community. In conclusion, South Sumatran students acquired knowledge, communication skills, and empathy through their efforts to reduce uncertainty, fostering harmonious social relationships and enhancing integration within their new environment date: 2024-08-26 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: id identifier: https://digilib.uin-suka.ac.id/id/eprint/68702/1/20107030121_BAB-I_IV-atau-V_DAFTAR-PUSTAKA.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://digilib.uin-suka.ac.id/id/eprint/68702/2/20107030121_BAB-II_sampai_SEBELUM-BAB-TERAKHIR.pdf identifier: Dian Satriani, NIM.: 20107030121 (2024) STRATEGI PENGURANGAN KETIDAKPASTIAN PADA MAHASISWA PERANTAU DALAM BERINTERAKSI DENGAN MASYARAKAT LOKAL DI YOGYAKARTA (STUDI DESKRIPTIF KUALITATIF PADA KELUARGA PELAJAR DAN MAHASISWA SE-SUMATERA SELATAN DI YOGYAKARTA).
