Abstract
Celebrity worship is a feeling of extreme attachment a fan has for their favorite celebrity. Worshiping K-Pop celebrities in Muslim early adulthood can interfere with developmental tasks. This study aims to determine and test empirically the relationship between celebrity worship and religiosity among early adult Muslim K-Pop fans. This study uses a quantitative research design (correlational). The number of participants in this study was 257 K-Pop fans in Indonesia aged 18 to 25 years. The measuring scale used in this study is the Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS) developed by McCutcheon et al. (1) and the Religiosity Scale for Muslim Subjects developed by Amir (2). The CAS measuring instrument has a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.940. The Religiosity Scale for Muslim Subjects developed has a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.797. This study’s results state a significant negative relationship between celebrity worship and religiosity in Muslim early adult K-Pop fans. The correlation coefficient value obtained is r = -0.117, with a significance value of p = 0.030 (p <0.05). Based on the results of the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the research hypothesis is accepted.
