The growing popularity of TikTok among teenagers raises concerns about its potential psychological impact, including the development of social anxiety. Adolescents are particularly susceptible to social judgment due to their stage of development, which means their social media activities can significantly impact their emotional state. This study aimed to determine the relationship between TikTok use and the level of social anxiety experienced by adolescents and young adults aged 17-24 in Surakarta. The study employed a quantitative correlational design, and the respondents were selected through purposive sampling. The purpose of quantitative correlational research is to investigate the relationship between two or more variables without manipulation to determine the direction and strength of the relationship. Purposive sampling is defined as the deliberate selection of respondents based on specific criteria relevant to the research objectives.This study used two measurement tools: a TikTok usage scale and a social anxiety scale. The results show a significant correlation between TikTok usage and social anxiety levels among adolescents. Higher TikTok usage intensity is associated with higher social anxiety levels. Therefore, it can be concluded that TikTok usage contributes to the development of social anxiety in adolescents. This highlights the need for increased parental guidance and digital literacy.
