Summary: | The Maluku conflict in 1999 impacted the social life of the Maluku people and reduced cultural awareness so that the cohesion of the multi-religious and multi-ethnic community was getting weaker. Social boundaries are penetrated by differentiation, leading to the weakening of psychological aspects; several practical experiences become revenge because memories are formed in conflict zones filled with threats, anarchic actions, intimidation, terror, and murder. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the overall experience on the social interaction of victims of the Maluku conflict. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. These results indicate that the greater the bad experience (un-comfort) and the pleasant experience (comfort), the more rigid the social interaction. Most researchers say that the causes of conflict are related to each other systematically, and therefore the problem must be viewed holistically. Based on the principles of psychoanalysis, three factors were found that influenced the social interaction of victims of the Maluku conflict. Biological factors, psychological factors, and sociological factors. Biologically, in a society in conflict, social interaction occurs in stable, specific segregation whose inhabitants have fraternal relationships, such as social interactions between parents and children, siblings, relatives, and family. This is due to having a brotherly relationship (blood) in which a sense of mutual trust has been created for one another. Psychologically, the victims of the Maluku conflict had several subjectively constructed experiences. This experience can be a pleasant experience or an unpleasant experience.
