Pengaruh Social Comparison terhadap Body Dissatisfaction dengan Kebersyukuran sebagai Moderator pada Emerging Adulthood
Abstract. The increasing phenomenon of body dissatisfaction among emerging adults who use TikTok has become a significant concern. High exposure to unrealistic beauty standards on the platform encourages users to engage in social comparison, although not all individuals experience the same level of comparison or body dissatisfaction. Gratitude is presumed to mitigate body dissatisfaction by helping individuals accept their physical appearance more positively. This study aims to examine the effect of social comparison on body dissatisfaction, with gratitude as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach with a causal design was used, involving 398 participants aged 18–25 years, actively using TikTok, and residing in Bandung City. Data were collected using the INCOM questionnaire (Gibbons & Buunk, 1999) adapted by Putra (2018) for social comparison, the MBSRQ-AS (T. F. Cash, 2000) adapted by Aristantya and Helmi (2019) for body dissatisfaction, and the IGS-10 developed by Rusdi (2021) for gratitude. The results showed an R square value of 0.052, indicating that social comparison has an effect on body dissatisfaction, contributing 5.2%. Gratitude was found to have a direct effect on body dissatisfaction and moderated the effect of social comparison on body dissatisfaction by 7.6%. The type of moderation found was a quasi-moderation, meaning gratitude also functions as an independent variable. Increased body dissatisfaction was associated with low levels of gratitude and high levels of social comparison. High gratitude was found to weaken the effect of social comparison on body dissatisfaction. Abstrak. Fenomena meningkatnya body dissatisfaction di emerging adulthood pengguna TikTok menjadi perhatian serius, tingginya paparan terhadap standar kecantikan yang tidak realistis mendorong para pengguna melakukan social comparison, walaupun tidak semua individu melakukan social comparison dan mengalami body dissatisfaction dalam tingkat yang sama. Kebersyukuran diduga dapat memperlemah body dissatisfaction, karena membantu individu lebih menerima kondisi tubuhnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh social comparison terhadap body dissatisfaction dengan kebersyukuran sebagai variabel moderator. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain kausalitas. Sampel 398 orang berusia 18–25 tahun, aktif menggunakan TikTok, tinggal di Kota Bandung. Instrumen pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner INCOM (Gibbons dan Buunk, 1999) diadaptasi oleh Putra (2018) untuk social comparisaon. Kuesioner MBSRAQ-AS (T. F. Cash, 2000) diadaptasi oleh Aristantya dan Helmi (2019) untuk body dissatisfaction, dan IGS-10 disusun oleh Rusdi (2021). Hasil penelitian didapati nilai R square sebesar 0.052, menunjukkan social comparisonberpengaruh terhadap body dissatisfaction, dengan besaran kontribusi 5,2%. Kebersyukuran berpengaruh langsung terhadap body dissatisfaction dan memoderasi pengaruh social comparison terhadap body dissatisfaction sebesar 7,6%. Jenis moderasi yang ditemukan moderasi semu, artinya kebersyukuran juga berfungsi sebagai variabel independen. Peningkatan body dissatisfaction disebabkan oleh rendahnya kebersyukuran dan tingginya perilaku social comparison. Kebersyukuran yang tinggi memperlemah pengaruh social comparison terhadap body dissatisfaction.
