Social anxiety and social media use on interpersonal communication of youth organization members

Zulaikhah Nur Hasanah, Jumiyanto Widodo

Abstract

Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya tingkat keakraban antaranggota dan adanya hambatan komunikasi yang teramati pada anggota organisasi kepemudaan (Karang Taruna). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh kecemasan sosial dan penggunaan media sosial terhadap keterampilan komunikasi interpersonal, baik secara parsial maupun simultan. Pendekatan kuantitatif ex post facto digunakan dengan melibatkan 70 responden anggota Karang Taruna Bangun Muda di Bampir, Pringanom. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner skala Likert (1–4) dan dianalisis menggunakan regresi linear berganda. Hasil uji t menunjukkan bahwa kecemasan sosial berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap keterampilan komunikasi interpersonal (t = −6,605 > tₜₐₑₗ = 1,996; p = 0,000), sedangkan penggunaan media sosial tidak berpengaruh signifikan (t = 1,152 < tₜₐₑₗ = 1,996; p = 0,253). Secara simultan, uji F membuktikan bahwa kedua variabel bebas secara bersama-sama berpengaruh signifikan (F = 23,500 > Fₜₐₑₗ = 3,134; p = 0,000), dengan koefisien determinasi (R²) sebesar 0,412, yang berarti model menjelaskan 41,2% varians keterampilan komunikasi interpersonal. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa kecemasan sosial merupakan hambatan psikologis utama bagi komunikasi interpersonal yang efektif pada organisasi kepemudaan informal di pedesaan, sedangkan sekadar frekuensi penggunaan media sosial tidak dengan sendirinya membentuk keterampilan tersebut secara berarti.

Abstract: This study was motivated by the low level of interpersonal familiarity and the presence of communication barriers observed among the members of a youth organization (Karang Taruna). The research aimed to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of social anxiety and social media use on interpersonal communication skills. A quantitative ex post facto approach was employed, involving 70 respondents drawn from the members of Karang Taruna Bangun Muda in Bampir, Pringanom. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–4) and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The t-test results revealed that social anxiety had a significant negative effect on interpersonal communication skills (t = −6.605 > tₘₑₑ = 1.996; p = .000), whereas social media use had no significant effect (t = 1.152 < tₘₑₑ = 1.996; p = .253). Simultaneously, the F-test confirmed that the two independent variables jointly exerted a significant effect (F = 23.500 > Fₘₑₑ = 3.134; p = .000), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of .412, indicating that the model explained 41.2% of the variance in interpersonal communication skills. The findings suggest that social anxiety constitutes a primary psychological barrier to effective interpersonal communication in informal rural youth organizations, whereas the mere frequency of social media use does not, in itself, meaningfully shape such skills.
