The Relationship Between Body Image and Life Satisfaction AmongTeenage Girls Who Use TikTok

Abstract

The  body  image  problems  experienced  by  adolescent  girls  are 
influenced  by  the  development  of  social  media  which  is  very  popular  and  in 
demand,  namely  the  TikTok  application.  The  purpose  of  this  study  was  to 
determine  whether  there  is  a  relationship  between  body  image  and  life 
satisfaction  in  adolescent  girls  who  use  TikTok.  This  research  design  uses  a 
cross-sectional  design.  The  sample  of  this  study  were  adolescent  girls  from 
SMA Negeri 1 Gondanglegi and SMK Cendika Bangsa Kepanjen totaling 135 
respondents, but  100  respondents  fit  the  criteria  with  the  sampling  technique, 
namely  non-probability  sampling  using  purposive  sampling  technique.  This 
study  has  2  variables,  namely  body  image  as  measured  by  the  MBSRQ-AS 
(Multidimensional  Body  Self  Relation  Questionnaire  -  Appearance  Scales)
questionnaire and life satisfaction as measured by the SWLS (Satisfaction With 
Life Scale) questionnaire. Data analysis using the Spearman test, the results of 
statistical  tests  with  the  Spearman's  rho  test  obtained  a  p-value  of  0.000  <  ? 
(0.05)  so  that  there  is  a  significant  relationship  between  body  image  and  life 
satisfaction  in  adolescent  girls  who  use  TikTok.  The  correlation  value  shows 
0.767 which is a strong relationship. The correlation coefficient value (r) also 
shows  that  the  variable  is  positive,  so  this  states  that  there  is  a  positive 
relationship between the body image variable and life satisfaction. It is hoped 
that young women have the awareness of being able to accept themselves well, 
can use and respond to TikTok content wisely and selectively and support from 
external factors such as education to young women is needed.
