Abstract

The objective of this study is to find the correlation between self-control and social media addiction (Instagram) of teenagers.

Data retrieval is done using two scales, namely self-control and social media addiction (Instagram). Data analysis using product moment correlation techniques with rxy = -0.419; p = 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that there is a negative correlation between self-control and social media addiction, which indicates that the higher the self-control then the lower the social media addiction. Instead, the lower the self control then the higher the social media addiction. Thus the hypothesis proposed is accepted. Based on the research result, the contribution self-control in social media addiction is 17.6% and the rest is 82.4% affected by other factors
