Abstract

The internet provides tremendous educational benefits for students and also provides better communication, information, and social interaction opportunities for young people, but excessive internet use can lead to negative psychological addiction. This study aims to quantitatively describe the tendency of internet addiction in the population of students majoring in Public Administration from the class of 2020, 2021, and 2022. The total sample taken was 142 people, including all students from the three batches. The data analysis method applied in this research is the crosstab or cross tabulation analysis technique. The data analysis process involved the use of SPSS V.25 statistical software. From the results of the analysis of gender and range of addiction, it can be seen that the majority of respondents, both males (66.7%) and females (69.9%), experience a moderate level of internet addiction, especially social media. The number of respondents who experienced moderate addiction reached 98 out of a total of 142 respondents. In the analysis of respondents' age groups and range of addiction, it can be seen that three age groups dominate, namely 19, 20 and 21 years old. Of the 28 respondents aged 19, 17 of them experienced moderate addiction. In the 20-year-old age group, out of 43 respondents, 33 were classified as moderately addicted. While in the 21-year-old age group, out of 37 respondents, 26 of them also showed a moderate level of addiction. Furthermore, the tendency of internet addiction in college students is dominated by two main aspects: characteristics and excessive use. Students who feel attached to the internet tend to always think about and find it difficult to control their use. Keywords: Tendency; Addiction; Internet; College Students

Abstract

Social media has become a primary tool in influencing voter decisions, especially among young generations, in the 2024 Election. With a creative and interactive approach, platforms such as TikTok dominate in delivering political messages to university students, who are part of the millennial and Gen Z generations. This research employs a quantitative descriptive method using questionnaires on 120 students from HKBP Nommensen University to measure the influence of social media on the decision to vote for presidential and vice-presidential candidates. The hypothesis test results indicate a significant influence of social media on students' voting decisions. 70.9% of respondents consider social media as the main factor influencing their choice, with TikTok being the most influential platform (74.2%). Additionally, entertaining and creative political slogans such as "Ok Gas 02 Tabrak-Tabrak Masuk" influenced 57.5% of respondents. These findings support the hypothesis that social media significantly affects voting decisions. The significance value in the ANOVA test is 0.001 (< 0.05), indicating that the regression model is significant. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) is accepted, meaning there is an essential influence between the use of social media and voting decisions, with a contribution of 78.1%. This reinforces the importance of political communication strategies based on social media with engaging and informative content. Indonesia's 2024 election demonstrates how social media, especially TikTok, shapes young voters' preferences by transcending regional boundaries and creating new spaces for political engagement.
