Pemberlakuan berbagai kebijakan sebagai respon dari penyebaran pandemi COVID-19 di seluruh dunia yang bertujuan untuk mencegah bertambahnya angka pasien positif COVID-19 ini menimbulkan berbagai macam dampak. Salah satunya adalah naiknya angka adiksi atau kecanduan internet. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah guna mengetahui bagaimana pandangan ilmu psikologi sosial dalam melihat kenaikan angka kecanduan internet yang terjadi selama pandemi COVID-19. Metode yang digunakan adalah eksplanasif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil analisis yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa faktor penyebab yang berkorelasi dengan kenaikan angka kecanduan internet ini adalah faktor psikologis dan tujuan serta motivasi dari penggunaan internet itu sendiri. Teori lainnya yang dapat menjelaskan kenaikan tersebut adalah social exchange and interdependence theory, fearful attachment style, dan social comparison theory. Agar angka kecanduan internet ini tidak semakin bertambah, kita dapat menekannya dengan melakukan usaha kontrol diri baik secara mandiri maupun dengan bantuan orang lain di mana upaya tersebut akan semakin maksimal apabila dibarengi dengan motivasi yang kuat dan efikasi diri yang positif.
Abstract
The implementation of various policies in response to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world was carried out to prevent an increase in the number of positive COVID-19 patients from causing various kinds of impacts, one of which is increasing the number of internet addictions. The purpose of this research was to find out how social psychology considered the increasing number of internet addictions. The method is used for explanatory purposes with a qualitative approach. The analysis results show that the causative factors that correlate with the increase in the number of internet addictions are psychological factors and the purpose and motivation of using the internet. Other theories that can explain the increase are social exchange and interdependence theory, fearful attachment theory, and social comparison theory. We can prevent an increase in the number of Internet addictions by exercising self-control, both independently and with the assistance of others. If there is strong motivation and positive self-efficacy, these efforts will be maximized.
