EMOTIONAL RELIANCE REMAJA PADA TEKNOLOGI DIGITAL DAN IMPLIKASINYA PADA KESEHATAN MENTAL: TINJAUAN NARATIF KRITIS
Abstract
Artikel ini mengkaji ketergantungan emosional remaja pada teknologi digital, khususnya AI chatbot, dan implikasinya terhadap kesehatan mental. Fenomena ini disebut emotional reliance pada teknologi, yaitu pola di mana individu secara berulang menyerahkan pengaturan emosi kepada agen digital sebagai pengganti hubungan sosial manusia. Kajian menggunakan pendekatan critical narrative literature review terhadap publikasi akademik tahun 2020 hingga 2025 yang ditelusuri melalui Google Scholar, PubMed, dan Scopus pada periode Januari hingga Juni 2026. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa remaja dengan kesepian tinggi, kecemasan sosial, dan keterbatasan akses dukungan manusia memiliki kecenderungan lebih tinggi membentuk ketergantungan emosional pada agen digital. Ketergantungan ini berkaitan dengan penurunan investasi pada hubungan sosial nyata dan indikasi laju perkembangan regulasi emosi yang lebih lambat, meskipun arah kausalitas belum dapat dipastikan. Temuan ini memiliki implikasi pada perlunya literasi kesehatan mental digital, penguatan regulasi emosi melalui program berbasis sekolah, dan pendampingan orang tua. Penelitian longitudinal dan eksperimental pada populasi remaja diperlukan untuk memperjelas mekanisme kausal.
