Abstract

Doomscrolling, the compulsive tendency to consume negative content on social media, has become an increasingly disturbing phenomenon among Generation Z in Indonesia and has the potential to trigger existential anxiety deep anxiety regarding the meaning of life, death, and self-alienation. This study aims to examine the relationship between doomscrolling, fear of missing out (FoMO), and existential anxiety, and to formulate a cognitive-behavioral counseling model contextualized to the collectivistic culture and Islamic religiosity in Indonesia. The study used a quantitative correlational approach involving 230 Generation Z respondents who are active social media users, selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using three validated instruments, namely the Social Media Doomscrolling Scale, the Existential Anxiety Questionnaire, and the Fear of Missing Out Scale, then analyzed using correlation tests and multiple regressions in SPSS. Theoretical studies show that doomscrolling is related to existential anxiety through the mechanisms of erosion of basic assumptions about the world (Shattered Assumption Theory) and activation of death anxiety (Terror Management Theory), which is reinforced by the unmet need for social connectedness (FoMO). This study confirms that the cognitive-behavioral counseling model for Indonesian Generation Z needs to integrate cognitive restructuring with spiritual-religious values such as dhikrullah, sabr, and tawakkal, so that the intervention is more relevant and culturally acceptable. These findings are expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions to the development of Guidance and Counseling services in the digital era.

Abstract

This study investigates the intricate relationship between political interest and mental health across generations and religions in Indonesia. The objective is to analyze how political engagement influences mental well-being and to understand the varying impacts of generational and religious contexts on these dynamics. Using a literature review methodology, the research synthesizes existing academic sources, including journal articles and studies, to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic. The findings reveal that political interest acts as both a potential source of purpose and a significant stressor. For older generations, such as Baby Boomers and Generation X, political engagement is often rooted in historical experiences of authoritarianism, leading to skepticism and selective involvement. In contrast, Millennials and Generation Z exhibit a more pragmatic approach, heavily influenced by social media, yet they face heightened anxiety and mental health challenges due to political polarization and societal pressures. Moreover, the study identifies the role of religion as a crucial factor in shaping political perceptions and mental health responses. While religious beliefs can offer emotional support, they may also contribute to internal conflicts when political and religious values clash. Overall, the research underscores the necessity of fostering a supportive political and social environment that promotes mental well-being across diverse generational and religious backgrounds, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between political science and psychology to address these complex issues effectively.
