Abstract
This study explores the impact of cultural background on attitudes toward life milestone celebrations among 122 participants from different countries attending a summer camp in Indonesia. The primary objective was to examine the relationships between respondents' age, gender, ethnicity, and religion, and their attitudes toward life milestone celebrations. The study utilized descriptive statistics, crosstab analysis, ANOVA, correlation, and regression analyses to analyze participants' responses to six questions about their views on celebrating life milestones. Simultaneously, comments from 34 participants were analyzed to draw insights on their attitude towards life milestone celebrations. The results indicated that ethnicity and religious background significantly influence attitudes towards celebrations, with age also playing a notable role. Gender did not show a significant impact. This research is novel in its extensive investigation of how cultural background affects life milestone celebrations. The study offers practical implications for event planners and community organizers in multicultural and multi-religious settings, highlighting the need to account for diverse preferences and practices. Recommendations for future research include exploring broader demographic groups and focusing on specific cultural and religious traditions to gain deeper insights into how different backgrounds influence life milestone celebrations.
