HUBUNGAN ANTARA KONTROL DIRI DENGAN REGULASI EMOSI PADA GEN Z PENGGUNA GAME ROBLOX

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-control and emotion regulation among Generation Z users of the online game Roblox. The background of this study is based on the high intensity of online gaming among Generation Z, which may influence individuals’ ability to manage their emotions. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The participants consisted of 229 Roblox users selected using a non-probability sampling technique with an accidental sampling method. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using self-control and emotion regulation scales based on a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation test due to non-normal data distribution. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between self-control and emotion regulation, with a correlation coefficient of 0.227 and a significance value of < 0.001. This finding indicates that higher levels of self-control are associated with better emotion regulation abilities. However, the strength of the relationship was categorized as weak, suggesting that other factors also influence emotion regulation. In conclusion, self-control plays a role in supporting emotion regulation among Generation Z and provides important implications for developing interventions to promote more adaptive use of digital technology.
