Adiksi media sosial di kalangan mahasiswa mengalami peningkatan yang cukup
signifikan seiring dengan kemudahan akses internet, fenomena penggunaan
media sosial secara kompulsif yang berdampak pada terganggunya aktivitas
akademik mahasiswa. Stres akademik menjadi salah satu faktor yang berperan
dalam mendorong kecenderungan adiksi media sosial pada mahasiswa.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara stres akademik
dengan adiksi media sosial pada mahasiswa Universitas Syiah Kuala. Penelitian
ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif korelasional dengan teknik probability
sampling dan pendekatan proportionate stratified sampling yang berjumlah 376
mahasiswa aktif Universitas Syiah Kuala. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan
adalah Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) dengan koefisien reliabilitas
(α) = 0,825 untuk mengukur adiksi media sosial dan Perception of Academic Stress
Scale (PASS) dengan koefisien reliabilitas (α) = 0,872 untuk mengukur stres
akademik. Uji hipotesis menggunakan korelasi Pearson Product Moment
menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif yang signifikan antara stres akademik
dengan adiksi media sosial dengan nilai signifikansi p < 0,001 (p < 0,05) dan
koefisien korelasi r = 0,591. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa
terdapat hubungan positif antara stres akademik dengan adiksi media sosial pada
mahasiswa Universitas Syiah Kuala, di mana semakin tinggi stres akademik maka
semakin tinggi pula kecenderungan adiksi media sosial.

Social media addiction among students has increased quite significantly along with the ease of internet access, the phenomenon of compulsive use of social media which has an impact on disrupting students' academic activities. Academic stress is one of the factors that plays a role in encouraging the tendency of social media addiction in students. This research aims to determine the relationship between academic stress and social media addiction among Syiah Kuala University students. This research used a correlational quantitative method with probability sampling techniques and a proportionate stratified sampling approach, totaling 376 active students at Syiah Kuala University. The research instruments used were the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) with a reliability coefficient (α) = 0.825 to measure social media addiction and the Perception of Academic Stress Scale (PASS) with a reliability coefficient (α) = 0.872 to measure academic stress. Hypothesis testing using the Pearson Product Moment correlation shows that there is a significant positive relationship between academic stress and social media addiction with a significance value of p < 0.001 (p < 0.05) and a correlation coefficient of r = 0.591. Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is a positive relationship between academic stress and social media addiction among Syiah Kuala University students, where the higher the academic stress, the higher the tendency for social media addiction.
