Abstract

Abstract. High Internet usage coupled with the increasing use of social media in Indonesia is a phenomenon that needs to be understood thoroughly. Some users use multiple accounts (secondary accounts) when accessing social media. This study seeks to explain the phenomenon of Twitter secondary account usage in Indonesia. A total of 2414 samples were collected from across Indonesia. This study analyzed age, gender, number of secondary accounts used, place of residence, and motivation based on the usability and gratification paradigm. To measure motivation, the researcher used the "Motivation to Use Twitter" measurement tool which was adapted to the Indonesian language. This research is descriptive research with a quantitative approach. Descriptive statistical analysis techniques and Pearson's chi-square correlation were used to identify the relationship between motives and demographic characteristics.Twitter secondary account users in Indonesia are dominated by 18-24 year old females from Java Island who use two secondary accounts. An association was found between age and motivations for self-expression and distraction. Associations were also found between gender and self-expression, sociability and disruption motives. Finally, this study found associations between the number of secondary accounts used and self-expression and sociability motives.
