Abstract

Adolescence is a phase of childhood development between the ages of 10 to 19 years. This phase is triggered by biological, psychological, and social changes during that period. Hanging out is a familiar trend for teenagers, during which they spend time with friends or peers to relieve stress from daily routine satieties. There are various entertainment spots such as nightclubs, cafes, parks, and coffee shops. Giras, a so-called coffee shop, became a favorite place for teenagers to hang out. The purpose of this study was to explore the emotions of teenagers hanging out in this kind of coffee shop. This research was a phenomenology study that invited seven participants, selected using inclusive criteria. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and field notes. Five themes emerged in this study, including feelings, lifestyles, reason for hanging outs, negative impact, and positive impact. Hanging out was found to be a resource for happy, relaxed, and comfortable feelings. The impact that teens experience when hanging out is more dominant and dangerous regarding negative impact.
