Abstract

This study examines and discusses how social interactions of adolescents who use social media that carried out directly and indirectly, social interaction motives, and the impact on their psychological aspects. This research uses a qualitative approach. The research analysis used is the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). This study analyzed three cases of adolescents who use social media with an average social media usage of 7–10 hours per day. These three cases explain how the interaction of adolescents using social media. The results show that adolescents engage in social interactions with positive motives such as friendship, group discussion, business, and also honing language skills. In addition, there are two negative motives shown, namely revenge and the desire to drop. High intensity of using social media causes poor quality of direct interaction. Adolescents get busier with their mobile phones and do not heed the surrounding environment.
