Game dan Komunikasi: Analisis Pengaruh Game Online Terhadap Etika Komunikasi Mahasiswa FSDU di IAIN Takengon

Abstrak

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes in various aspects of life, including in the way individuals communicate. One phenomenon that is increasingly prevalent among students is playing online games. This study aims to look at the effect of playing online games on the communication ethics of students of the Faculty of Sharia, Da'wah and Ushuluddin at IAIN Takengon. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. There were 50 students involved in this study. The results showed that there is a significant influence of playing online games on the communication ethics of students of the Faculty of Sharia, Da'wah and Ushuluddin at IAIN Takengon. Students who play online games have a tendency to violate communication ethics, especially when it comes to Islamic values. Competitive games - which allow players to lose - can encourage the release of unethical words, such as rude speech, cursing, even insulting and racist words. This research suggests the need for supervision and guidance from educational institutions as well as individual awareness of students to maintain Islamic communication ethics, both in social interaction and in playing online games.
