Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between perceived social isolation and social disconnection among Generation Z. Generation Z is a generation that grew up in a digital ecosystem and relies heavily on social media in their social lives. The digital paradox experienced by this generation raises questions about the relationship between feelings of social isolation and actual social disconnection. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The sample consisted of 160 respondents selected using purposive sampling technique. Instruments used were the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3) to measure perceived social isolation and the Social Disconnection Scale (SDS) to measure social disconnection. Hypothesis testing was conducted using Pearson Product Moment correlation. Results showed a significant positive relationship between perceived social isolation and social disconnection (r = 0.848; p < 0.001). Most respondents were in the moderate category on both variables, with a considerable proportion in the high category, particularly for social disconnection. These findings indicate that the higher the perceived social isolation felt by Gen Z individuals, the higher their level of social disconnection, even though they are digitally active.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between social relationship satisfaction and digital social interaction preference in early adulthood. The development of digital technology encourages individuals to use digital media as a means of social interaction, but high preference for digital social interaction does not necessarily lead to high social relationship satisfaction. This study employed a quantitative method with a correlational design. A total of 172 early adult respondents (aged 18–25 years) were obtained through purposive sampling. The instruments used were the Preference for Online Social Interaction (POSI) scale and the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS). Data analysis used Kendall's Tau-b correlation test because the data was not normally distributed. The results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.158 with a significance value of 0.003 (p 0.05), indicating a positive and significant but very weak relationship between the two variables. The majority of respondents had a high level of digital social interaction preference (73.3%), while the majority had low social relationship satisfaction (57.6%). These findings indicate that digital media can support social interaction, but is not the primary determinant of social relationship satisfaction in early adulthood.
