Abstract

This study examines how social media influences interpersonal communication among Generation Z by focusing on three fundamental dimensions: digital relational patterns, trust formation, and self-disclosure mechanisms. Utilising a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight informants aged 18–27 who actively utilise social media for interpersonal communication. The findings reveal that digital relationships develop rapidly through intense communication rhythms, yet remain fluctuating and highly contingent upon the continuity of messaging. Trust in digital interactions is established through the consistency between an individual’s online persona and offline behaviour, positioning authenticity as a crucial indicator of interpersonal credibility. Conversely, self-disclosure occurs selectively through audience-control features such as close friends, private messages, or secondary accounts, enabling users to express themselves in a sense of emotional security. The study concludes that social media functions not only as a communication tool but also as a social space that influences the dynamics of closeness, trust, and self-expression among Generation Z. These findings integrate Social Information Processing Theory, Social Penetration Theory, Impression Management, Warranting Theory, and the Online Disinhibition Effect to provide a more comprehensive understanding of digital interpersonal relationships among young generations.

Abstract

This study examines parental communication patterns in the development of socio-emotional skills among early childhood Generation Alpha in the digital era. Through a qualitative, phenomenological-critical approach involving 12 parents in Meulaboh, this research reveals three dominant communication patterns. The findings indicate: an integrative digital mediation combining active guidance with Islamic values; communication dissonance between ideal values and actual parental practices in digital contexts; and strategic technology appropriation for emotional-spiritual socialisation. The empirical findings were dialogically analysed with Qur'anic principles, particularly Q.S. Luqman regarding communication wisdom, Q.S. Al-Isra' concerning speech ethics, and Q.S. Al-Baqarah on moderation principles. This study contributes to the development of a value-based digital parenting model relevant to Indonesian Muslim families. Practical implications include the development of Islamic digital literacy programs that can assist parents in balancing technology use with children's holistic character development.
