Dramaturgi Mahasiswa Universitas Riau Pengguna Aplikasi Dating Online Bumble
There are two areas for impression management: the front stage and the backstage. The front stage is where the performance is carried out, adhering to the idealized appearance and style imagined by society as the audience. The backstage, on the other hand, represents the shedding of social attributes often displayed in public spaces. It is a private area, restricted from free access by others, as it serves as a place for individuals to "rest" from the roles they play on the front stage. Thus, the backstage reflects a person's authentic (real) life, where various social masks are removed. However, the backstage can turn into a front stage when social control infiltrates the activities of actors behind the scenes .Riau University students who use the online dating application Bumble find it easy to find a partner via social media. Bumble provides a platform where users can connect with other people more practically and efficiently, without having to meet in person. However, in this process, a person's truth or self-reality is often not fully shown, and there tend to be certain things that are hidden. The aim of this research is to analyze the imaging of the front stage (front stage) and back stage (back stage) Riau University students who use the application dating online Bumble.
This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews and documentation. Research subjects were selected purposively with the criteria that they were active students at the University of Riau who were active users of the application Bumble The last 1 year starting from 2024, involved 5 informants. Data were analyzed using interactive analysis according to Miles and Huberman, through data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, by checking the validity of the data through extended participation and triangulation.
The results of this research show that Bumble application users create an attractive self-image on the "front stage" to attract attention and get more matches. They display a good and positive image to be seen favorably by other users on the app. Meanwhile, on the "back stage" they design themselves in such a way as to cover the things they do on the "front stage" in accordance with Erving Goffman's dramaturgical theory. Users also tend to display a positive image on the "back stage" in order to be accepted by the wider community, especially because they still hide their use of online dating applications such as Bumble to maintain their reputation in their social environment. This research confirms the application of the concept of front stage and back stage in social interaction as described by dramaturgical theory.
