Abstract

Social media has become an inseparable part of the identity of Generation Z. One of the predominant social media platforms favored by this generation is Instagram. Instagram is utilized as a means of communication, interaction, development, and obtaining various informational materials. In this modern age, technology is increasingly sophisticated, and the speed and ease of obtaining data or information are very fast and instant. However, the ease of access to information that is super fast and easy has negative impacts on Generation Z, in addition to the positive ones that come with it. This study aims to describe the negative impacts of Instagram on Generation Z from the perspective of Islamic Psychology and how Islam offers solutions to these problems. The research method employed in this study is a qualitative approach, applying library research methods. The data analysis technique utilized is descriptive analysis. The results of this study reveal three negative impacts of Instagram on Generation Z, namely: (1) weak mentality or “strawberry generation,” (2) low self-confidence (resulting from comparing oneself to others), and (3) life assessment that is only limited to worldly matters.
