HUBUNGAN PENGGUNAAN MEDIA SOSIAL TIK-TOK DENGAN SIKAP REMAJA PUTRI PADA PERNIKAHAN DINI DI SMK NURUL IMAMUL HASAN

Abstract

Early marriage remains one of the reproductive health issues among adolescents that can negatively affect education, health, and social well-being. Female adolescents' attitudes toward early marriage may be influenced by various factors, one of which is the use of TikTok social media, which provides a wide range of content related to relationships, lifestyles, and marriage. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between TikTok social media use and female adolescents' attitudes toward early marriage at Nurul Imamul Hasan Vocational High School. This study employed a correlational research design with a cross-sectional approach. The population and sample consisted of all female adolescents aged 16–18 years at Nurul Imamul Hasan Vocational High School, totaling 42 respondents selected using a total sampling technique. The instruments used in this study were a TikTok social media use questionnaire and a questionnaire on female adolescents' attitudes toward early marriage. The results of the Fisher's Exact statistical test showed a p-value of 0.000 with α = 0.05. Since the significance value was less than α, H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted, indicating a significant correlation between TikTok social media use and female adolescents' attitudes toward early marriage at Nurul Imamul Hasan Vocational High School. Therefore, female adolescents are expected to use social media wisely and selectively and improve their knowledge of the consequences of early marriage in order to develop attitudes that support healthy and well-planned futures.
