Abstract

Cyber aggression has become a significant concern during the 2024 Indonesian General Election. Social dominance orientation is one of the factors sus-pected to correlate with cyber aggression. Based on this premise, this research aims to investigate the predictive relationship between social dominance orientation and cyber aggression in the context of the 2024 Indonesian General Election on social media X. The research employs a quantitative correlational approach with a sample of 286 X users aged 22–40 years, selected using purposive sampling techniques. The measurement tools utilized in this research are the Social Dominance Orientation-7 (SDO-7) and the Cyber Aggression Questionnaire for Adolescents (CYBA). The data analysis technique applied is simple linear regression analysis. The results reveal that social dominance orientation predicts or contributes 10.7% to cyber aggression during the 2024 Indonesian General Election on the X (R² = .107; F[1,284]=33.885; p < .05).
