| Abstract: | Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami bagaimana mahasiswa Ilmu Komunikasi mempraktikkan self-reward melalui media sosial. Seperti apa bentuk self-reward yang di bagikan, dampak dari tindakan tersebut dalam kehidupan mereka, dan kategori kebutuhan yang menjadi alasan utama. Self-reward adalah bentuk penghargaan yang diberikan individu kepada dirinya sendiri atas usaha atau pencapaian tertentu. Di era digital, banyak mahasiswa membagikan momen self-reward mereka melalui platform seperti Instagram. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologi untuk menggali pengalaman langsung dari mahasiswa yang aktif menggunakan media sosial. Teori yang digunakan adalah Uses and Gratification untuk melihat bagaimana mahasiswa menggunakan media sosial untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pribadi mereka. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bentuk self-reward yang dilakukan mahasiswa beragam, mulai dari membeli barang, menikmati makanan favorit, hingga melakukan aktivitas hiburan seperti traveling atau staycation, yang kemudian dibagikan di media sosial. Self-reward tidak hanya memberikan dampak positif seperti meningkatkan motivasi dan kepercayaan diri, tetapi juga memiliki dampak negatif jika dilakukan tanpa kontrol diri, seperti konsumtif berlebihan dan pencarian validasi sosial. Mahasiswa melakukan self-reward berkaitan dengan beberapa kebutuhan, seperti mencari hiburan, pelarian, membentuk citra diri di media sosial, serta berbagi informasi dengan orang lain. This study aims to understand how Communication Science students practice self-reward through social media. It explores the forms of self-reward they share, the impact of these actions on their lives, and the categories of needs that serve as the main reasons. Self-reward is a form of appreciation individuals give to themselves for certain efforts or achievements. In the digital era, many students share their self-reward moments through platforms such as Instagram. This research uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to explore the direct experiences of students who are active social media users. The theory used is Uses and Gratification, to see how students utilize social media to fulfill their personal needs. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that the forms of self-reward practiced by students are diverse, ranging from buying goods, enjoying favorite foods, to engaging in recreational activities such as traveling or staycations, which are then shared on social media. Self-reward not only provides positive impacts such as increased motivation and self-confidence, but also has negative effects if done without self-control, such as excessive consumerism and seeking social validation. Students engage in self-reward to meet various needs, including seeking entertainment, escapism, building self-image on social media, and sharing information with others. |
