Abstract
Perkembangan media digital dan media sosial memberikan pengaruh yang besar terhadap kehidupan Generasi Z, khususnya dalam membentuk body image. Paparan standar kecantikan yang tidak realistis sering menimbulkan ketidakpuasan terhadap penampilan fisik dan berdampak pada kondisi psikologis. Salah satu faktor psikologis positif yang diduga berperan dalam membentuk body image yang sehat adalah rasa syukur (gratitude). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara gratitude dan body image pada Generasi Z di era digital. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain deskriptif korelasional. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 50 mahasiswa Generasi Z berusia 18–25 tahun yang aktif menggunakan media sosial. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan skala gratitude dan skala body image berbentuk Likert, kemudian dianalisis dengan uji statistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara gratitude dan body image. Semakin tinggi rasa syukur yang dimiliki individu, semakin positif pula body image yang terbentuk.
The development of digital media and social media has a significant impact on the lives of Generation Z, particularly in shaping body image. Exposure to unrealistic beauty standards often leads to body dissatisfaction and negatively affects psychological well-being. One positive psychological factor that is believed to contribute to a healthier body image is gratitude. This study aims to examine the relationship between gratitude and body image among Generation Z in the digital era. This research used a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design. The participants were 50 Generation Z university students aged 18–25 years who actively use social media. Data were collected using gratitude and body image scales based on a Likert model and analyzed using statistical correlation tests. The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between gratitude and body image. Individuals with higher levels of gratitude tend to have a more positive body image. These findings indicate that gratitude plays an important role in promoting self-acceptance and positive body image amid the pressures of social media.
