Motivation, Student Satisfaction, People Nearby Application, Building RelationshipsAbstract
Dating apps have reshaped interpersonal interactions, with users motivated by finding a partner, expanding their social circle, or satisfying curiosity. The People Nearby feature in the Line app is designed to foster deeper relationships and enhance social interaction. This study applies Maslow’s motivation theory to analyze why Communication Science students at Muhammadiyah University of Sidoarjo use the Line People Nearby dating app. Using a qualitative approach, the findings show that all informants align with Maslow’s hierarchy, from basic needs to self-actualization. However, most fall under social needs, seeking affection, belonging, and interpersonal connections.
