Abstract

Generation Z is considered one of the loneliest generations. However, with the advancement of technology, it has become easier for Gen Z to communicate with others. In addition to social media, AI-based chatbots have become a popular option for overcoming loneliness through a form of interpersonal communication known as Human-Machine Communication (HMC). HMC-based interpersonal communication represents a significant breakthrough in the field of communication. With this, AI chatbots are now seen as more capable of engaging in communicative roles. These chatbots are increasingly accessible, with one example being the c.ai application. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a case study method, to explore Generation Z's experiences in coping with loneliness through the use of Character.ai (c.ai). The app is found to help reduce feelings of loneliness, particularly during initial use. However, despite offering satisfying emotional responses, c.ai is still not considered a substitute for human interaction. If anything, c.ai was seen as a temporary solution or instant relief to reduce loneliness. Users may return to use the application, but they may also not, resulting in them searching for alternative ways to cope with their loneliness.

Abstract

Relationships initiated via dating applications often encounter higher uncertainty than those formed face-to-face. This is due to limited initial information, potential discrepancies between online and real-life personas, and the absence of clear social references. This study examines how couples who met through dating apps manage relationship uncertainty in the lead-up to marriage decisions. Employing a transcendental phenomenology approach, the research explores participants' subjective experiences. Uncertainty Reduction Theory (URT) serves as the primary conceptual framework, complemented by Self-Disclosure within Social Penetration Theory (SPT) as a key communication strategy for uncertainty management. Data was gathered via in-depth interviews with married couples who met through dating applications. Findings indicate that couples employ various uncertainty reduction strategies: passive (observing online behavior), active (seeking third-party information), and interactive (direct communication and gradual self-disclosure). Self-disclosure is crucial for building trust and accelerating the decision to marry, particularly in terms of openness about life values, marital expectations, and past experiences. The results suggest that deeper self-disclosure leads to stronger relationships. This study contributes to the understanding of interpersonal communication in digital contexts, enhancing our understanding of communication dynamics from online interactions to committed relationships. Practical implications offer valuable insights for dating app users to foster healthier and more meaningful relationships.

Abstract

Impression Management merupakan upaya individu untuk mengelola kesan yang ingin ditampilkan kepada publik. Dalam ranah politik, citra positif menjadi penting bagi aktor politik seperti Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Wakil Presiden RI 2024-2029. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi strategi impression management yang digunakan Gibran melalui akun Instagram (@gibran_rakabuming) selama 100 hari pertama masa jabatannya, yakni periode 20 Oktober 2024 hingga 28 Januari 2025. 100 hari pertama dianggap sebagai periode krusial bagi aktor politik dalam membangun kesan yang baik dimata publik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis isi kuantitatif deskriptif milik Krippendorff terhadap 15 program yang terdapat dalam 141 unggahan Gibran, berdasarkan lima strategi dari Jones & Pittman (1982): ingratiation, intimidation, self promotion, exemplification, dan supplication. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Gibran dominan menggunakan kombinasi strategi ingratiation dan self promotion, dengan fokus pada pendekatan emosional dan bukti kinerja. Strategi ingratiation muncul pada unggahan delapan program prioritas, sedangkan self promotion muncul pada unggahan tujuh program. Meskipun ingratiation menjadi strategi paling banyak ditemukan, sub indikator dengan frekuensi tertinggi adalah laporan hasil kerja dari self promotion (18,36%). Sementara itu, strategi supplication tidak ditemukan, menunjukkan bahwa Gibran tidak membentuk citra melalui penonjolan kelemahan. Temuan ini mendukung kesan bahwa Gibran ingin tampil sebagai pemimpin muda yang simpatik, kompeten, dan percaya diri.
