Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between extraversion of Eysenck’s personality dimensions and entertainment-social level of celebrity worship syndrome in female adolescents who use social media. This study is a replication of previous study (Maltby et al, 2003) with different context and assumed that extraversion was related to entertainment-social.Female adolescents use social media massively and idolizing is commonly found in this development stage. This study was conducted on 587 participants with age ranged between 12-20 years old. The data were collected by questionnaire. The variables were measured by Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Abbreviated Version (EPQR-A) and Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS). Result shows that social media users tend to be neurotic and experiencing entertainment-social worship while no significant relationships are found between both extraversion and psychoticism to entertainment-social. This could be explained by higher tendency of neuroticism in female adolescents and using social media to interact with peers or so-called pseudo-friends in celebrity fan club.
