Hubungan Screen Time Youtube dengan Kepatuhan Situasional (Situasional Compliane) Anak Pada Perintah Orang Tua

Abstract

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) is a fundamental phase in the formation of children's character and obedience. However, the increasing use of YouTube in early childhood raises concerns about the development of children's social behavior, including situational compliance with parental instructions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of YouTube screen time on the situational compliance of early childhood children at RA Al Falah. The study used a quantitative approach with a causal associative method. The study sample consisted of 13 class B children selected using a purposive sampling technique. The main instrument was a four-level gradation scale questionnaire with content validity and normative reliability tests. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the level of YouTube screen time was in the moderate category (69.23%), while children's situational compliance was in the high category (79.23%). A simple linear regression test showed a positive and significant effect between YouTube screen time and situational compliance (t = 3.283; sig. = 0.007), with a contribution of 49.5%. These results indicate that directed and parentally supervised YouTube use can contribute to increasing children's compliance. These findings imply the importance of digital parenting support in managing early childhood screen time to positively impact character development and discipline.
