摘要：This study aims to measure the influence of social control which consists of the dimensions of attachment, belief and commitment with the integrity of political participation of young people in social media. The study was conducted on 400 students in four for Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in Melaka, namely Universiti Teknikal Malaysia, Melaka (UTeM, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Melaka (UiTM), Universiti Multimedia (MMU), and Kolej Universiti Islam Melaka (KUIM). 400 questionnaires were distributed, only 388 were returned for analysis. Empirical results via the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach revealed a significant relationship between the dimensions of attachment, belief, and commitment to the integrity of political participation. The study found that social control is important to the integrity of political participation, which means that social control through the dimensions of attachment, belief, and commitment gives influence on the behavior of young people with integrity in social media. Furthermore, the integrity of political participation is widely influenced by belief, it showed that most of them believe that God will provide rewards in the form of wealth, status, and power in return. Direction for future research is presented.
