Abstract
Communication technology has evolved in such way that it ease problem of
distance and time in doing communication within society. For instance, the
invention of smartphone. These days, creative developers created new phenomenon
of online dating where smartphone users can install the software to start using the
online dating application to communicate with strangers online through their
smartphone. However, the use of such application will more or less influence the
users especially in the interaction process of online dating. This interaction process
is the main issue that the writer wants to highlight in this thesis.
For research purpose, the writer will focus on Growlr, an online dating
application which specially designed for homosexual community with distinct bearlike physical appearance. Regarding Growlr application, the writer is interested in
exploring on how the users present themselves on the application and how user
profiles influence other users to interact among them. This research is conducted
using the symbolic interaction theory with qualitative research method which use
semiotic Eco approach. The concepts used in the research are self-presentation and
the gay classification. The number of subject of study in total are 6 which are chosen
based on their description of criteria written in English within the application, and
all reside in Jakarta.
Result of this research shown that based on self-presentation and expression
most of Growlr users can be classified as Extro-seducer and Intro-seducer.
Meanwhile, based on user preference most of Growlr users can be classified as
‘welcome’ and ‘picky’. / Perkembangan teknologi komunikasi telah mengatasi kendala yang
dihadapi manusia terkait jarak dan waktu dalam berkomunikasi. Salah satu
contohnya dengan kehadiran smartphone. Berkembangnya software komunikasi
pada smartphone menimbulkan fenomena baru yaitu aplikasi kencan online yang
digunakan untuk bersosialisasi dengan pengguna lainnya. Namun, dalam
penggunaanya, banyak bentuk interaksi yang dapat memengaruhi seseorang dalam
berinteraksi. Hal ini lah yang menjadi alasan mengapa penulis ingin mengangkat
topik ini sebagai tesis.
Untuk aplikasi yang dipilih untuk diteliti merupakan aplikasi Growlr,
dimana aplikasi ini merupakan aplikasi kencan online yang diperuntukkan untuk
para komunitas gay yang memiliki kriteria tubuh bear (beruang). Terkait aplikasi
ini, penulis tertarik untuk meneliti mengenai bagaimana presentasi diri pengguna
ini dilakukan? Bagaimana hal tersebut dapat memengaruhi pengguna lain untuk
berinteraksi. Penelitian ini sendiri beracuan pada teori interaksi simbolik dengan
menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan semiotik Eco dengan
konsep yang digunakan adalah presentasi diri serta klasifikasi gay. Jumlah subjek
penelitian disini ada 6 orang yang dipilih berdasarkan kriteria deskripsi diri dalam
bahasa Inggris dan lokasi kota besar seperti Jakarta.
Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa presentasi diri pengguna
aplikasi Growlr ini diklasifikasikan berdasarkan ekspresi diri yaitu Extro-seducer
dan Intro-seducer, sedangkan berdasarkan preferensi pengguna muncul presentasi
diri pengguna yang welcome dan pengguna yang picky.
