Cognitive flexibility as Mediator the Effect of Loneliness on Celebrity worship in Early adult Korean Wave Fans in Indonesia
Abstract
Celebrity worship is an obsessive-addictive disorder where a person becomes involved in every detail of their idol's activities (Maltby et. al, 2005). This study aims to determine cognitive flexibility as a mediator of the effect of loneliness on celebrity worship in early adult korean wave fans in Indonesia. The research method uses quantitative and causality approaches. The measuring instruments used are the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI) scale by Dennis & Vander Wal (2010, the UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-20) scale by Russel (1996), and the Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS) scale by Maltby et al (2004). The population of this study was early adult korean wave fans in Indonesia, with a sample of 496 participants including 113 men and 383 women. Mediation analysis was used using the SEM mediation analysis feature of the JASP software version 16. The results showed the value of the direct effect of the loneliness variable on celebrity worship, with a p value of 0.001 <0.05, which indicates that the loneliness variable has a significant effect on celebrity worship. On the other hand, the value of the indirect effect between the variable loneliness on celebrity worship and cognitive flexibility as a mediator was obtained, with a p value of 0.001 <0.05, which shows that cognitive flexibility functions as a mediator of the effect of loneliness on celebrity worship. which means that the cognitive flexibility variable can reduce celebrity worship caused by the loneliness variable.
