1 INTRODUCTION
Humans, as social beings, interact with each other in
various ways. Interaction is done to meet each
other's needs and to live comfortably (Bales, 1950).
In order for the interaction to run properly, there
must be social skills. Social skills have important
role in one's life. Such skills are needed to establish
the connection at home, on campus or in the
neighborhood, to intertwin quality friendships.
Students with high social skills have a good social
environment, like many people, because they can
control themselves, able to convey ideas well, to
discuss smoothly, to work together, to be a good
listener, and to respect others, to be active in
organization (Cartledge and Milburn, 1980; Johnson
and Johnson, 1987). Meanwhile, students who have
low social skills have few friends, have hard time to
control themselves, behave aggressively when the
desire is not obeyed, are easily anxious or are afraid
when faced with a new situation.
Students who have good social skills are able to
communicate well with their surroundings, both at
home and on campus (L'Abate and Milan, 1985).
Communication is important to convey ideas or
opinions to others (Izzati, 2016). In college world,
where the level of business grows bigger, students
also usually spend time to participate in
extracurricular activities or so-called Student
Activity Unit (SAU), which refers to a student
organization where students are gathered with
similar interests, passion, creativity, and orientation
of extracurricular activities within the campus.
As for the discussion in this research, futsal,
handball and basketball, the three branches become
the issue that leads to the growth of good social
interpersonal relation among students (Haris, 1986;
Sucipto, 2010). In the learning of futsal, handball
and basketball games by students in SAUs, UPI
must provide elements of social behaviours such as
cooperation, responsibility, acceptance,
communication, non-judgment, empathy, sincerity
and seriousness, fair and impartial attitude,
participation, self-awareness and discipline
(Husdarata, 2014). By then, it is expected there will
be a change or an indication that show that the
results from the futsal, handball or basketball games
bring good social skills in result.
This research is taken to figure the interaction
among students that has impact to the social skills
