Abstract

Adolescents are individuals in a crucial stage of social development, where they tend toengage and interact with their social groups to develop social skills. However, such intense social interactions may also lead to interpersonal conflicts, which have the potential to trigger aggressive behavior. This study aims to examine the moderating role of social support in the relationship between problematic social media use and aggressive behavior among adolescents. The research employed a quantitative correlational method with a total of 377 university students selected through accidental sampling. The instruments used included an aggression scale adapted from Buss & Perry (1992) with a reliability of 0.959, a problematic internet use scale from Caplan (2010) with a reliability of 0.954, and a social support scale from Sarafino and Smith (2011) with a reliability of 0.944. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson Product Moment correlation. The results showed that social support significantly moderates the relationship between problematic social media use and aggressive behavior. High levels of social support were found to reduce tendencies toward aggressive behavior, even when individuals experienced problematic social media use. Therefore, social support serves as a protective factor for adolescents.Keywords: Adolescents, Aggressive Behavior, Problematic Social Media Use, Social Support Remaja merupakan individu yang sedang berada pada tahap perkembangan sosial yang penting, di mana mereka cenderung berinteraksi dan bergabung dengan kelompok sosialnya untuk mengembangkan keterampilan sosial.
