Main Article Content
Abstract
TikTok has become one of the most popular digital platforms among teenagers, including secondary school students, due to its ease of access, content creation, and entertainment sharing features. However, uncontrolled intensity of TikTok use can affect various aspects of teenagers’ lives, including their religiosity. Based on this phenomenon, this study was conducted under the title “The Influence of TikTok Usage Intensity on the Religiosity of Secondary School Teenagers.” The objectives of this research are to: (1) describe the intensity of TikTok use among secondary school teenagers, (2) describe the level of religiosity among secondary school teenagers, and (3) determine the influence of TikTok usage intensity on the religiosity of secondary school teenagers. This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach. The population consisted of 284 eleventh-grade students, with a purposive sampling technique used to select 75 respondents. The research instrument consisted of a questionnaire with 15 items for the TikTok usage intensity variable and 27 items for the religiosity variable, supported by interview and documentation data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics for quantitative data and descriptive analysis for qualitative data. The findings indicate a significant influence between TikTok usage intensity and the religiosity of secondary school teenagers. The coefficient of determination (R Square) was 0.212, indicating that TikTok usage intensity contributed 21.2% to religiosity, while the remaining 78.8% was influenced by other factors. Interviews with teachers and students reinforced the finding that TikTok content can have both positive and negative impacts on teenagers’ religious awareness and practices.
