Background and Theoritical Framework of The Study
Information technology is currently experiencing significant
developments. One of the proofs, it is easy for users to access information anywhere and anytime by using a Widespread internet network. Technological sophistication has an impact in affecting life. Especially for teenage users, many use the internet as a means of showing and seeking popularity and public attention. Social media as a place for users to easily participate, share, and create content. The Tiktok application is an audio-visual social media application, the tiktok application presents videos and music. It is the second best-selling social media under WhatsApp. Users can share creative ideas so that their videos can get a lot of viewers and likers and can be used as inspiration by other Users.Videos on the tiktok application will be appreciated more if they have interesting content, creators and good confidence. This self-confidence is actualized through unique and attractive behavior in nature. According to Setiyo, self- confidence is a person’s belief In all their strengths and makes them feel capable of achieving various goals (Puspitasari and Laksmiwati, 2012). Tiktok application users can create at one’s pleasure, test their creativity, and present themselves so they can reduce embarrassment and increase self-confidence. The Tiktok application can be used by all groups, one of them is among students, namely students of communication science at 2016 class in the Islamic University of Balitar. Tiktok is used by students as a place to express themselves or what is commonly known as narcissism. Narcissistic behavior comes from the concept of self- confidence; this Self-confidence is actualized through behaviors such as being a unique, attractive, highly Intelligent individual, and having more potential than others. The Tiktok application can Help to increase self-confidence by frequently making videos and uploading them, so they Get appreciation from other people as viewers. TikTok is one of the most popular apps on Social media. This app is the world’s prominent destination for creating short-form Mobile videos in Asia, United States and other parts of the world. It emerged from the Founders of the app called Musically. TikTok, also known as Douyin in China, started in September 2016 and is maintained by Byte Dance (Lauren Hallanan, 2018). This media App is accessible in over 150 marketplaces and In 75 languages (Mehvish Mushtaq, 2018). TikTok has generated a modern trend among teenagers and permits users to make and share Short 15 to 60-second short video and lets them choose songs, effects, or soundbites. An Additional benefit is that collaboration which Is a major motivation where they can do a ,,‟duet‟‟ with someone by responding to their video which results in a limitless chain of responses. In September, it exceeded impacts than positive. TikTok is a video-sharing social network service owned by ByteDance that, according to Its website, seeks to “inspire creativity” of users and “bring joy” to the users (TikTok – RealShort Videos, 2020). It is a typical User-generated content platform (UGC), where content is produced by users, rather than the company. Accessible via mobile phone, the application allows users to create short lip-sync, dancing’s, gaming, DIY, food videos, etc., in 3 to 15 seconds or 3 to 60 seconds.. Other than video production, users engage in TikTok by viewing, sharing, and commenting on videos created by other users. Among various interaction of users, memes, the remix and reinterpretation of catchphrases, storylines, and songs, and other formulaic elements, were often used to reflect user’s thoughts and culture, which is similar to the meme practiced Discussed by Ryan Miller in other social media platforms (2018). Through the process of constantly producing video content, some users gradually gain more followers or recognition from the community. These community-recognized users are called “microcelebrities” or “influencers”, microcelebrities” introduced by senft, characterizes users who systematically manage its platform practices to amp up its popularity. It involves techniques of self-branding, such as” curating, rearranging and recirculating” videos to present themselves in what they think as the best way to do it (Senft 2008, 349). “Influencers” introduced by Abidin are “high profile micro Celebrities” who “accumulate a relatively large following” on their digital platform (2015,1). Several scholars have also examined the issue of TikTok addiction: Zhang et al. proved that social interaction anxiety and social isolation have positive influences on short-form video apps (2019), and Kumar and Prabha predict that narcissism and insecurity will lead to excessive use of TikTok (2019). However, these studies focused more on the types of personal traits and characteristics of users that are vulnerable to TikTok and did not consider the design of the platform’s interface that may trigger addiction. In my research, I will take account of the technology, specifically user interface, in shaping users’ addiction issues.
Self-esteem ,how we feel about ourselves, was first introduced
as a psychological theory by William James(1890), who defined self-esteem as a measure of our success divided by our pretensions, but it was Cooley and Mead who both connected self- esteem with social interactionism, or the idea that people determine how they feel about someone or something from preconceived ideas and information gained from interacting with others. Coopersmith and Rosenberg, working around the same time period, attributed it to experiences during childhood. Stanley Coopersmith attributed self-esteem to security and love during early childhood, while Morris Rosenberg saw self-esteem as developing in adolescence when teens constantly compare themselves with others. Contemporary theories are more interested in why we have self- esteem. Self-determination theory sees self-esteem as an indicator of whether our psychological needs are met. Terror management theory suggests that self-esteem helps us cope with the knowledge that we will eventually die. Finally, sociometer theory argues that self-esteem is a gauge measuring our success in group inclusion and forming interpersonal relationships. According to Rosenberg theory (1965), self-esteem is one’s positive or negative attitude toward oneself and one’s evaluation of one’s own thoughts and feelings overall in relation to oneself. Self-esteem is regarded as a personal psychological characteristic relating to self-judgment based on one’s values about humans (Alesi et al., 2012). Self- esteem implies an awareness of one’s value system and one’s emotional evaluation of one’s self-worth (Schunk, 1985).
