Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dinamika kepribadian dan emosi dalam interaksi pengguna aplikasi kencan online serta memahami pengaruh faktor teknologi terhadap pengalaman komunikasi romantis digital. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods dengan desain sequential explanatory yang mengombinasikan data kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner online, analisis percakapan chat, dan wawancara mendalam terhadap pengguna aktif aplikasi kencan online. Variabel penelitian meliputi kepribadian pengguna, dinamika emosi, regulasi emosi, serta persepsi terhadap algoritma aplikasi kencan. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan statistik deskriptif, korelasi, regresi, analisis emosi teks, dan thematic analysis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepribadian memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap pola komunikasi dan pengalaman emosional pengguna dalam aplikasi kencan online. Pengguna dengan tingkat ekstraversi tinggi cenderung lebih aktif membangun komunikasi dan menunjukkan emosi positif, sedangkan pengguna dengan neurotisisme tinggi lebih rentan mengalami kecemasan relasional dan tekanan emosional. Selain itu, light personality traits berkaitan dengan orientasi hubungan jangka panjang dan komunikasi suportif, sementara dark personality traits cenderung berhubungan dengan pola komunikasi ambigu dan hubungan jangka pendek. Penelitian juga menemukan bahwa sistem algoritma aplikasi, ghosting, serta presentasi diri ideal menjadi faktor yang memengaruhi kestabilan emosi pengguna. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa aplikasi kencan online merupakan ruang sosial digital yang mempertemukan dinamika psikologis, komunikasi interpersonal, dan pengaruh teknologi dalam pembentukan relasi romantis modern.
