Abstract

Social media is now a necessity for everyone, including adolescents who are generally undergraduate students. Social media allows users to acquire information from all corners of the world quickly. However, on the other hand, social media has negative impacts, one of which is emotional instability. The samples of this study are active undergraduate students in Jakarta who are adolescents with an age range of 18-21 years totaling 135 subjects. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Measuring instruments used was an emotional stability questionnaires consisting of 21 items based on the theory put forward by Chaturvedi and Chander (2010). Data analysis was performed using the SPSS program version 23.00 using One-Way ANOVA test, showing no difference in emotional stability in students in terms of the duration of social media use. Furthermore, students who use social media for less than 2 hours a day have the highest mean emotional stability, and students who use social media for more than 8 hours a day have the lowest mean emotional stability.
