Authoritarian Parenting and Peer Interaction as Predictors of Social Media Use and High School Students' Resilience

Abstract

lthough peer interaction and authoritarian parenting are known to have an impact on teenage behaviour and resilience, their combined predictive power over social media use and resilience in Indonesia is still poorly understood. This study fills this knowledge gap by investigating the intricate connections between peer interaction, social media use, authoritarian parenting, and the resilience of high school students in the Indonesian context. Using a quantitative methodology, data were gathered from 500 secondary school pupils in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Squares) was used in the analysis. Important results indicate that authoritarian parenting directly reduces resilience (β = -0.218) and significantly predicts higher social media use (β = 0.138). On the other hand, peer interaction is a strong predictor of improved resilience (β = 0.321) and increased social media use (β = 0.288). Interestingly, social media use and resilience are not directly correlated (β = -0.016). There was no evidence to support the hypothesis that peer interaction and authoritarian parenting have an interaction effect. The study illustrates the opposing effects of these elements on Indonesian high school students: authoritarian parenting may increase social media use and directly hinder resilience, whereas peer interaction is a major factor in resilience development. The lack of a clear correlation between resilience and social media use points to the potential role of additional mediating or moderating factors. These findings underscore the pressing need for peer-focused interventions and context-specific family support programs to enhance the resilience of high school students in Indonesia. (β = -0.016).

The lack of a clear correlation between resilience and social media use points to the potential role of additional mediating or moderating factors. These findings highlight the urgent need for peer-focused interventions and context-specific family support programs to promote high school students' resilience in Indonesia.
