Abstract

The credibility of anonymous influencer accounts is a critical, yet unexplored factor in building audience trust in health information on social media, especially on platforms like TikTok. This study examines the influence of the credibility of the anonymous account @dokterdetektif (2.1 million followers) on the trust of its followers. Quantitative research was conducted through an online survey of 400 active followers (purposive sampling, Slovin formula, 5% margin of error). The 4-point Likert scale questionnaire measured three dimensions of credibility (attractiveness, expertise, trustworthiness) and two dimensions of trust (trusting belief, trusting intentions). Validity was tested using Pearson correlation, reliability using Cronbach's Alpha (α>0.7), and hypothesis testing using Spearman correlation and t-test. There was a significant correlation between account credibility and audience trust (r=0.576; p<0.05), with credibility explaining 43.4% of the variance in trust (R²=0.434). All three dimensions of credibility were rated "very high": attractiveness (mean 3.62), expertise (3.58), and trustworthiness (3.54). These findings are in line with the audience trust dimension, proving that perceived credibility is the main foundation of information trust. Influencers need to build multidimensional credibility to increase trust, while audiences must critically evaluate information. Future research is suggested to explore non-credibility factors (e.g. algorithm bias) and use qualitative approaches to understand audience motivations in depth.

Abstract

The phenomenon of insecurity is an issue that is often faced by today's teenagers, characterized by feelings of dissatisfaction with themselves and fear of the surrounding environment. The purpose of this study is to find out the role of family communication in adolescents who experience insecurity in the city of Bandung. This research uses a qualitative approach (Kriyantono, 2012), which investigates social phenomena that occur in humans. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between feelings of insecurity and decision-making in late adolescence. Adolescents who experience insecurity tend to be hesitant in making their own decisions and often seek validation from others. This study emphasizes the importance of the role of communication in the family, especially democratic communication patterns, which have been proven to help adolescents overcome feelings of insecurity. The three main dimensions that contribute to feelings of insecurity in adolescents are failure or rejection, social anxiety, and the drive for perfectionism. The experience of failure or rejection causes adolescents to feel inferior and incapable in various aspects, which if it happens constantly, can increase feelings of insecurity. It can be concluded that family communication with a good pattern can help adolescents who feel insecure.
