Abstract

This research is entitled Communication of Singa Mania Supporter Group Members in
Maintaining Solidarity. This study aims to determine the way of communication carried out by
members of the Singa Mania group in maintaining cohesiveness. This research is also based on the
theory of group thinking initiated by Irvin L. Janis which explains that cohesiveness will be formed
through intensive communication and high enthusiasm from each member. This research uses
descriptive qualitative method. The researcher chose four informants as information material. To
collect data, researchers used observation, interview and documentation techniques. The results of
this study show that communication plays a major role in maintaining the integrity and cohesiveness
of the Singa Mania group, seen from the way they communicate such as doing weekly social media
meetings and through social media. High communication intensity makes the relationship between
group members even tighter, so that cohesiveness can be maintained.
