Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of TikTok content exposure intensity on selfidentification in Generation Z. The phenomenon of self-diagnosis is increasingly common among Generation Z who actively use social media, especially TikTok, as the main source of mental health information. TikTok, with an algorithm that can adjust user preferences, has become a significant medium in shaping understanding and perceptions of mental health. However, intensive exposure to such content can trigger users' tendencies to identify themselves with certain mental health symptoms without professional consultation. This study uses a quantitative method with multiple linear regression analysis. The respondents in the study were 143 individuals from Generation Z who live in the Jabodetabek area. The results of the study show that the intensity of TikTok use has a significant effect on selfidentification in Generation Z. This finding provides important implications for mental health literacy in the digital era, as well as being a reference for health practitioners in designing appropriate interventions for young age groups. Keywords: TikTok, Generation Z, self-identification, intensity of social media use, self-diagnosis Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh intensitas paparan konten TikTok terhadap self-identification pada Generasi Z. Fenomena self-diagnose semakin marak terjadi di kalangan Generasi Z yang aktif menggunakan media sosial, khususnya TikTok, sebagai sumber utama informasi kesehatan mental. TikTok, dengan algoritma yang dapat menyesuaikan preferensi pengguna, telah menjadi medium yang signifikan dalam membentuk pemahaman dan persepsi tentang kesehatan mental. Namun, paparan intensif terhadap konten tersebut dapat memicu kecenderungan pengguna untuk mengidentifikasi diri dengan gejala kesehatan mental tertentu tanpa konsultasi profesional. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan analisis regresi linier berganda. Responden dalam penelitian adalah 143 individu dari Generasi Z yang berdomisili di wilayah Jabodetabek. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa intensitas konten TikTok berpengaruh signifikan terhadap self-identification pada Generasi Z. Temuan ini memberikan implikasi penting bagi literasi kesehatan mental di era digital, serta menjadi acuan bagi praktisi kesehatan dalam merancang intervensi yang tepat untuk kelompok usia muda. Kata Kunci: TikTok, Generasi Z, self-identification, intensitas penggunaan media sosial, self-diagnose
