| Summary: | The experience in a friendship was not always a positive one.
Trust as the foundation in a friendship might be violated. Trust
was considered to be violated when the trustor (the one who
the people trust) had a perception that the trustee (the one who
was trusted) did not behave according to the expectation of the
general norms (Roth & Sitkin, 1993). The research was to find
the general description and the psychological dynamic within
the trust violation in a adolescent�s friendship. A friendship as a
form of interpersonal relationship implemented the theory of
interdependence. The research was performed in two phases
namely the quantitative one in the form of a survey toward 117
students of the Faculty of Psychology, Gadjah Mada University,
and the qualitative one in the form of an interview to 4
respondents. The results of the research showed that the forms
of trust violation were the behavior and the personal quality.
The trust violation included exposure of a secret, avoidance of
fulfilling a promise, lie, verbal attack, communication and
interest. In addition to the violation, the research also
uncovered the reasons of intimacy, emotion after being
violated, the magnitude of violation, the consideration of the
magnitude, the comparison of intimacy before and after the
violation and the response of being violated. Then, the dynamic
of the violation explained multiple variations of a friendship after
being violated.
