Abstract

Background/Context: The widespread use of Instagram among university students has intensified exposure to curated online content, increasing the likelihood of upward social comparison. Such comparisons may contribute to feelings of insecurity and negatively affect students’ psychological well-being. Although digital literacy is often considered a protective factor in navigating social media content, its direct influence on insecurity remains unclear.Objective/Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of digital literacy on students’ insecurity resulting from social comparison on Instagram.Method: The research employed a quantitative explanatory design. Data were collected from active Instagram-using university students through an online Likert-scale questionnaire. Data analysis included normality testing using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Shapiro–Wilk tests, followed by simple linear regression analysis.Results: Normality testing indicated that the insecurity variable was not normally distributed (Kolmogorov–Smirnov, p = 0.003; Shapiro–Wilk, p = 0.005). Regression analysis revealed a very weak and non-significant relationship between digital literacy and insecurity (R = 0.192; R² = 0.037; B = 0.361; p = 0.292). These findings suggest that digital literacy does not significantly predict students’ insecurity related to social comparison on Instagram.Conclusion: The study concludes that digital literacy alone is insufficient to significantly reduce insecurity arising from social comparison on Instagram. Other psychological or contextual factors may play a more substantial role. However, digital literacy remains essential for fostering critical evaluation of social media content and supporting healthier emotional regulation in digital environments

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh Dukungan Sesama Mahasiswa terhadap Keterampilan Komunikasi mahasiswa Universitas Negeri Medan. Keterampilan komunikasi merupakan salah satu kompetensi penting yang harus dimiliki mahasiswa untuk mendukung keberhasilan akademik dan profesional. Dukungan teman sebaya, yang meliputi dukungan emosional, instrumental, informasional, dan persahabatan, berperan penting dalam menciptakan iklim sosial yang positif dan meningkatkan kepercayaan diri mahasiswa dalam berekspresi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan variabel independen Dukungan Sesama Mahasiswa (X) dan variabel dependen Keterampilan Komunikasi (Y). Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh mahasiswa Universitas Negeri Medan, dengan sampel sebanyak 30 mahasiswa yang diambil menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner berbasis Skala Likert. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa data berdistribusi normal dan model regresi dinyatakan signifikan. Terdapat hubungan yang cukup kuat antara kedua variabel (R=0,680), di mana Dukungan Sesama Mahasiswa mampu menjelaskan variasi Keterampilan Komunikasi mahasiswa sebesar 46,3\%. Hasil uji regresi membuktikan bahwa Dukungan Sesama Mahasiswa berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap Keterampilan Komunikasi mahasiswa (Sig. 0,000 < 0,05). Temuan ini menyimpulkan bahwa semakin tinggi dukungan yang diberikan oleh sesama mahasiswa, maka semakin baik pula keterampilan komunikasi yang dimiliki mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya peran interaksi sosial antar mahasiswa dalam mendukung pengembangan kompetensi komunikasi di lingkungan perguruan tinggi.
