Abstract

News coverage of violence in pesantren has increased. The news coverage should have made the image of pesantren hostile, and the number of students decreased. However, pesantren and Santri in Pekalongan Regency have experienced a significant increase. This study aimed to analyze the community in overcoming cognitive dissonance when sending their children to pesantren and to analyze the exposure to negative news on parents' interest in sending their children to pesantren through the intervening variable of the image of pesantren. The theory used is cognitive dissonance. The research methodology uses a post-positivistic paradigm with a mixed methods approach. The population was 976,504 people, and a sample of 475 respondents with a simple random technique. The data collection method used surveys and in-depth interviews. The study's results showed that the community could reduce cognitive dissonance; they considered pesantren the safest places to deepen religious knowledge, train independence, and make many friends. Parents assume that not all pesantren experience physical violence and sexual violence. The second research result is that the influence of mass media exposure on parents' request to send their children to pesantren is minimal, only 7.29%. In comparison, the image of pesantren influences parents' interest in sending their children to pesantren by 26.21%. Together, mass media exposure and the image of pesantren influence parents' interest in sending their children to pesantren by 34.8%. Meanwhile, mass media exposure does not affect parents' interest in sending their children to pesantren through the intervening variable of pesantren image.
