Adolescents are prone to receive negative peer pressure. One of the main causes is the need of social acceptance. The aim of this study is to improve adolescents refusal skill and assertiveness to avoid negative peer pressure through experiential learning approach. Online training is carried out due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which makes face-to-face activities need to be restricted. The subjects of this study are 5 female students from three different schools in Jakarta, who were selected using purposive sampling method with Peer Pressure Inventory. Data were collected quantitatively using two different questionnaires which measure refusal skill, and assertiveness separatedly, while qualitative data were collected through observation and role-play activity. Wilcoxon signed ranked test was used to analyze the quantitative data, while the qualitative data were analyzed descriptively. The results show the significant increase of assertiveness among participants after joining the training, but not with their refusal skills. This may be caused by the limited time of practicing the refusal skill in real context. Overall, online refusal skill and assertiveness training is likely to be given amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
