Abstract

Loneliness is a psychological condition that arises due to a mismatch between expected and existing social relationships. This study aims to test the validity and reliability of the UCLA Loneliness Scale version 3 in measuring loneliness in college students in West Sumatra. A total of 200 active college students became participants selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using an online questionnaire and analyzed using the Cronbach's Alpha reliability test and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The results showed that this scale has very high reliability (α = 0.955), as well as adequate item discrimination power (0.491–0.791). EFA identified two main factors, namely social loneliness and emotional loneliness, which were then confirmed through CFA with good model fit values (RMSEA = 0.079; SRMR = 0.049; GFI = 0.924). These findings support the two-dimensional structure of the loneliness construct and indicate that the UCLA Loneliness Scale version 3 is suitable for use in the Indonesian cultural context. This scale has the potential to be applied in psychological screening and campus-based interventions to address loneliness among college students.

Abstract

Social media has emerged as a new arena for political communication, particularly among the younger generation, including teenagers and university students. In the context of the 2024 General Election, platforms such as TikTok and Instagram play a pivotal role in fostering political participation, shaping public opinion, and reinforcing the political identities of young people. This study aims to examine the impact of social media on political participation and the potential for polarization it creates. A literature review method was employed, analyzing research findings from scholarly journals published between 2019 and 2024. The results indicate that social media can enhance political engagement through easy access to information, online discussions, and the appeal of visual content. However, social media usage can also lead to opinion polarization driven by platform algorithms, the spread of misinformation, and the influence of public figures. In conclusion, social media plays a dual role in democracy: serving as a vehicle for political empowerment while also acting as a potential source of disinformation. Therefore, enhancing digital literacy among users is crucial to fostering a healthy and inclusive democratic environment.
