Pengaruh Personal Fable terhadap Kecenderungan Cyberbullying yang di Moderasi oleh Konformitas Teman Sebaya pada Remaja

Abstract

Cyberbullying behavior among adolescents has become a serious issue in the field of education, particularly due to the increasing use of digital media. One psychological factor that contributes to this behavior is the personal fable, a typical adolescent belief in their uniqueness and invulnerability. Additionally, peer pressure in the form of conformity can strengthen adolescents' tendency to engage in deviant online behavior. This study aims to examine the influence of personal fable on adolescents' cyberbullying tendencies and to investigate whether peer conformity moderates this relationship. The research employed a quantitative approach using moderation regression analysis. The participants consisted of 235 students from SMP Negeri X. Data were collected using the New Personal Fable Scale (NPFS), a cyberbullying tendency scale, and a peer conformity scale. The results showed that personal fable has a significant influence on cyberbullying tendencies. Furthermore, peer conformity was found to be a moderator that strengthens the influence of personal fable on cyberbullying behavior.
