Phenomenological study about “Remaja Jompo” in autobase @CollegeMenfess users at social media Twitter

Abstract

This study seeks to understand why certain Twitter users conform to the "Remaja Jompo" (Old Teen) personal identity motif on the @CollegeMenfess autobase. Henry Jenkins' Uses and Gratification, New Media, and Participation theories are all used in this study. In addition, this study employs phenomenological research techniques to uncover the causes of the phenomena of senior teenagers. Three research subjects were chosen based on their ages, how frequently they used Twitter, how they interacted with "remaja jompo" (old teens), and how well they knew about autobase between the months of August and September because there was a correlation between these factors. These results suggest that self-expression, self-actualization, and informational needs all play a role in the motivations of older adolescents.
