The method used was quantitative research with a descriptive approach. The study population consisted of 59 people, with a sample of 34 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted via a questionnaire using a Likert scale consisting of 20 statements. The data were analyzed using mean calculations. The results of the study indicate that the mean score for social communication was 4.36, which falls into the “very good” category.
