Abstract

The study aimed to examine the use of online dating apps among Tridinanti University students and its relationship with confidence levels. Based on an initial survey conducted in January 2024 with 322 respondents, it was found that students of Tridinanti University use online dating apps as a necessity in finding a partner. The majority of users have been using the app for more than a year, with an average usage of about two hours per day. The survey results show that college students who use online dating apps tend to have lower levels of self-confidence, being more comfortable dating through apps than in person. Ninety-two students were embarrassed to initiate a face-to-face encounter, 76 students lacked confidence in their physical appearance, and 29 students did not have time to seek a face-to-face partner. In addition to surveys, the study also involved observation and interviews to delve into this phenomenon. The research uses a combination method (mix method) with a quantitative and qualitative approach, adopting a sequential explanatory model. The data was collected through a Likert scale and tested for validity and reliability using SPSS version 20.0. The results of this study are expected to provide a deeper understanding of the impact of using online dating apps on student self-esteem.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the dynamics of change and continuity in the wedding traditions of the Sasak community in Lombok from an Islamic perspective and its impact on their social structure. The Sasak community possesses a rich cultural heritage passed down through generations, with wedding traditions being one of the essential foundations of their social life. This study employs Lévi-Strauss's structuralism approach to delineate the key elements in Sasak wedding ceremonies and analyze the role and symbolic meaning of each element in the context of Islamic teachings. Sasak wedding traditions reflect traditional values highly esteemed by the community, such as togetherness, mutual cooperation, and respect for ancestors. The influence of Islam, which has permeated Sasak life, creates a unique cultural synthesis where traditional elements are integrated with Islamic practices. However, modernization and globalization bring significant changes to the wedding traditions and social structure of the Sasak community. This research finds that despite strong external influences, the Sasak community has managed to preserve key traditional elements and uphold their traditional values. Through this study, a deep understanding is gained of how the Sasak community faces social changes without losing their cultural and Islamic identity. This research also elucidates how social structure and wedding traditions function as reflections and mechanisms to face contemporary challenges, contributing to structural anthropology studies and providing a broader understanding of socio-cultural dynamics in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research explores the processes and underlying factors that lead to culture shock in the main character of the movie Queen (2014), employing Sverre Lysgaard's U-curve theory as the analytical framework. The U-curve model outlines various stages of adaptation that individuals undergo when exposed to a new culture. Through this lens, the study identifies six key phases experienced by the protagonist: before departure, arrival (Honeymoon), the onset of culture shock, feelings of discomfort and unhappiness, gradual adjustment, and eventual completion of the adaptation process. The analysis reveals that the main factors contributing to the character's culture shock include significant differences in cultural norms, unfamiliar food, lifestyle changes, and language barriers. Each of these elements presents unique challenges, which the character must navigate as she transitions into her new environment. This research not only highlights the emotional and psychological shifts during the adaptation process but also underscores the broader impact of intercultural encounters, offering a nuanced understanding of how cultural differences influence personal growth and adaptation in unfamiliar settings.
