Abstract

Beauty is often closely linked with physical appearance in the current digital era. Prevailing beauty standards in society presuppose certain criteria for beauty, making adherence to these standards the primary basis for assessing one's body image. This study aims to provide an overview of the body image perceptions among women who struggle with acne or "acne fighters." This qualitative research adopts a phenomenological design. Participants were purposively selected using the purposive sampling method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Findings indicate that women who are acne fighters are dissatisfied with their physical condition, depicting their appearance as unattractive and failing to meet prevailing beauty standards within their social environment. This dissatisfaction leads to decreased self-confidence and negative impacts on social relationships. The study also identifies that one of the main contributing factors to the formation of negative body image is the normalized beauty standards prevalent in society.

Abstract

This research explores the relationship between alexithymia tendencies and TikTok addiction among adolescents in Jakarta. A total of 300 adolescents aged 18–24 who use TikTok for at least three hours per day participated in this quantitative research. Data were collected using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Social Media Addiction Scale-Short Form (SMAS-SF) to measure levels of alexithymia tendencies and TikTok addiction. Data analysis used bivariate correlation or Pearson’s correlation coefficient by SPSS for Windows 26 to assess the relationship between the two variables. Results from two-tailed testing with a significance level of .01 (1%) revealed a positive correlation of .299. These findings indicate that higher levels of alexithymia are associated with higher levels of TikTok addiction.
