ABSTRACT
During the Covid-19 Pandemic, life aspects changed, including adolescents. Their daily activities were limited, which may disturb their psychological well-being reflected through six aspects: autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relation with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance. However, adolescents could disclose themselves through social media to manage psychological well-being in limited life during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This study aims to determine the influence of self-disclosure on social media on psychological well-being in adolescents during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This study is a quantitative correlational design. A total of 316 adolescents who were active users of Instagram between the age of 13 and 21 years were selected through accidental sampling. Two instruments used were the Revised Self-Disclosure Scale and Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale. The results indicated that self-disclosure on social media significantly affects psychological well-being among adolescents during the Covid-19 Pandemic and based on multiple linear regression, indicated that self-disclosure on social media significantly affects all aspects of psychological well-being among adolescents, except for autonomy. This study implies that adolescent social media users need to control self-disclosure activities so they do not develop into oversharing, which can harm psychological well-being or self-security.
