Social Media's Influence on Social Behavior: A Study of SMK PGRI 6 Malang Students
Abstract
space for anyone to comment, participate openly, and rapidly share information widely. It is widely
recognized that this phenomenon exerts significant influence on individuals' lives, particularly
among adolescents today. Consequently, they may become overly comfortable and forget their
inherent social nature, which necessitates direct interaction within their social environment. This
study examines the behaviors of students at SMKS PGRI 6 Malang when using social media. The aim
is to investigate the impact of social media usage on the social behaviors of these students. Employing
a qualitative method with a phenomenological research strategy, data collection techniques include
observation, documentation, and interviews. Three students from SMKS PGRI 6 Malang participated
in the study. Findings indicate that social media tends to have predominantly negative impacts. While
social media influences the social behaviors of students, it does not necessarily foster empathy
among the students of SMKS PGRI 6 Malang towards their environment.
