Self-disclosure, Social comparison, Social anxietyAbstract
The use of social media, particularly TikTok, has become increasingly prevalent among Generation Z and may influence users’ psychological well-being. Excessive self-disclosure and social comparison on social media are considered potential risk factors for social anxiety. This study aims to examine the influence of self-disclosure and social comparison on social anxiety among Generation Z TikTok users. A quantitative method with a correlational approach and cross-sectional design was employed. The sample consisted of 270 Generation Z individuals aged 20–24 years who actively use TikTok in Sidoarjo Regency, selected using non-probability purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents, the Revised Self-Disclosure Scale, and the Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure. Data analysis involved Pearson’s correlation and multiple linear regression using IBM SPSS Statistics version 31. The results indicated that self-disclosure and social comparison significantly affected social anxiety, jointly explaining 47.5 percent of the variance, highlighting the need for balance.
