Abstract

This study examines the cohesiveness among members of the Indonesian Otaku online community, addressing recent concerns over reduced membership, commitment, and interpersonal attraction. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative design, the research surveyed 51 community members through a total sampling technique, employing an adapted Likert scale based on Forsyth's group cohesiveness theory with a reliability of 0.964 for data collection. Analysis revealed a predominant moderate level of cohesiveness (70.6%), highlighting the significance of member interactions for group unity. The findings underscore interactions as the pivotal factor influencing cohesiveness, with the community's bonding mainly stemming from individual and group interactions. This study contributes to understanding the dynamics of online community cohesiveness, particularly within niche interest groups like the Otaku community in Indonesia, suggesting the need for enhancing interaction strategies to foster group unity and commitment.
