Abstract

This study investigates the interrelationship between TikTok addiction, perceived social support, and academic stress among university students in Surakarta. Grounded in the stress-buffering framework, the research explores the direct and indirect effects of compulsive TikTok use on academic stress, with social support examined as a mediating variable. A cross-sectional design was employed, using purposive sampling to collect data from 452 TikTok users enrolled in higher education. TikTok addiction, social support, and academic stress were measured using adapted and validated scales. Structural equation modelling with SmartPLS revealed that TikTok addiction significantly increases academic stress, while social support reduces it. Interestingly, TikTok use was positively associated with perceived social support, though its mediating role in buffering academic stress was limited. The findings underscore the complex psychosocial dynamics of digital behavior and suggest that enhancing social support systems may help mitigate the academic strain associated with social media overuse.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between TikTok addiction and academic performance among university students, with academic procrastination examined as a mediating variable. Grounded in self-escape theory, the research explores how excessive TikTok use may act as a maladaptive coping mechanism that contributes to procrastinatory behaviors, ultimately affecting academic outcomes. This study used a cross-sectional design and data collected from 287 students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta through an online questionnaire. The analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that TikTok addiction has no significant direct effect on academic performance. However, it significantly increases academic procrastination, which in turn negatively affects academic performance. The mediation analysis confirmed that academic procrastination plays a key intermediary role in the relationship between TikTok use and academic success.
