Abstract

Abstract. The use of online streaming services in Indonesia has increased dramatically, reaching 140% compared to previous years. This increase is due to ease of access and loss of self-control in the use of digital media which leads to excessive consumption. Many individuals overuse media to avoid negative emotions, such as loneliness. Lonely individuals tend to choose passive activities to feel satisfaction.However, this contradicts who statements that have established loneliness as a serious threat to health. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between loneliness and binge-watching in serial viewers who are in the emerging adulthood age group. This study uses a quantitative approach. The data collection process was carried out using a questionnaire instrument with a total sample of 136 participants obtained emerging adulthood viewers of series shows. The measuring instrument used is UCLA Loneliness Ver 3 from Russell (1996) which has been translated into Indonesian by Raissa Pramitha and Specific Program Binge-Watching Scale (SPBWS) from Viens & Farrar (2021) which has been translated by Riska Miranti. The results of the analysis using the spearman rank correlation test showed no significant relationship between loneliness and binge-watching (p = 0.508), with a correlation coefficient of 0.1. That is, loneliness does not directly contribute to an individual's decision to binge-watch.

Abstrak. Penggunaan layanan streaming online di Indonesia meningkat drastis, mencapai 140 % dibandingkan tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Peningkatan ini disebabkan oleh kemudahan akses dan hilangnya kontrol diri dalam peggunaan media digital yang mengarah pada konsumsi berlebihan. Banyak individu menggunakan media secara berlebih untuk menghindari emosi negatif, seperti kesepian. Individu kesepian cenderung memilih aktivitas pasif untuk merasakan kepuasan. Namun, hal ini bertentangan dengan pernyataan WHO yang telah menetapkan kesepian sebagai ancaman serius bagi kesehatan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji keterkaitan antara kesepian dan binge-watching pada penonton serial yang berada pada kelompok usia emerging adulthood. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode korelasional dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Proses pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan instrument kuesioner dengan jumlah sampel yang diperoleh 136 partisipan emerging adulthood penonton tayangan serial. Alat ukur yan digunakan adalah UCLA Loneliness Ver 3 dari Russel (1996) yang telah diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia oleh Raissa Pramitha dan Spesific Program Binge-Watching Scale (SPBWS) dari Viens & Farrar (2021) yan telah diterjemagkan oleh Riska Miranti. Hasil analisis menggunakan uji korelasi rank spearman menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara kesepian dan binge-watching (p = 0.508), dengan koefesien korelasi sebesar 0.1. Artinya, kesepian tidak berkontribusi langsung pada keputusan individu untuk melakukan binge-watching.
