Abstract

The increasing prevalence of social media usage among university students has raised significant concerns about its psychological effects, particularly in relation to self-esteem and the development of narcissistic behavior. As students spend more time engaging with social media platforms, behaviors such as seeking validation through "likes" and comments or frequently uploading self-promoting content have become more common. This study aims to determine and analyze the effects of self-esteem on narcissistic behavior in students at Medan Area University. The research design used in this study is survey research. The research sample consisted of 265 students of Medan Area University consisting of various durations of smartphone use. Data collection was carried out through two questionnaires measuring self-esteem and narcissistic behavior. This study was analyzed using simple linear regression. The results of the study showed that self-esteem had a significant positive effect on narcissistic behavior, the greater the narcissistic tendency. Students with low self-esteem were less likely to exhibit narcissistic behavior such as frequently uploading photos of themselves and seeking attention through "likes" and comments.

Abstract

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) causes individuals to focus excessively on physical flaws, thus reducing self-confidence and belief in their abilities. This low self-confidence can trigger career anxiety, as individuals feel their appearance is a barrier to competing and adapting in the workplace. However, since evidence on the relationship between BDD and career-related psychological outcomes among students remains fragmented, little is known about how body image concerns specifically influence students’ readiness and confidence in pursuing their future careers. This study aims to determine the effect of BDD on the level of career anxiety of students. The method used is quantitative correlation. The research sample was 310 randomly selected students. Data analysis in this study used simple linear regression. The results showed a significant influence between BDD and career anxiety. The higher the level of BDD, the higher the career anxiety experienced by students. New findings from this study reveal that social media factors, social pressure, and family expectations can exacerbate the impact of BDD on students' career readiness. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of Guidance and Counseling services in addressing students' body image issues and career anxiety holistically and preventatively.
