Abstract

The documentary “Pulau Plastik”  is seen as conveying the ideology reflected in the struggle of three selected activists to pressure those in authority to implement large-scale solutions to prevent environmental damage caused by waste. This study aims to examine the ideological representations reflected by the three activists using a qualitative research method with a semiotic analysis approach based on John Fiske’s model. Each finding is analyzed at three levels—the level of reality, the level of representation, and the level of ideology—to identify the meanings conveyed by the signs of opinion and ideology within the film’s advocacy framework, as shaped by the director. The research results indicate that the roles of the activists in “Pulau Plastik” serve as a medium to pressure those in authority or power, represented through the narrative of large-scale demonstrations and investigations into the abuse of power. The concept of the ideology of positional power explains that when someone holds power, they possess significant authority to regulate and direct a given environment. Meanwhile, the dissemination of ideology is evident in the concept of the “Pulau Plastik” narrative, which highlights the misconduct of certain individuals, the understanding that spheres of power will always disadvantage those without power.

Abstract

Background. Early adulthood is marked by increasing academic and interpersonal demands that heighten vulnerability to stress. Interpersonal communication is considered a key psychosocial resource, yet its role in stress regulation among university students remains underexplored. Methods. This mixed-methods study examined the relationship between interpersonal communication skills and perceived stress among 114 university students. Quantitative analyses included Pearson correlation, simple linear regression, and group comparisons, while qualitative data from open-ended responses were analyzed thematically using Lazarus and Folkman’s transactional model of stress and coping. Result. The results showed a significant negative correlation between overall interpersonal communication skills and perceived stress (r = −.185, p = .025). Regression analysis confirmed interpersonal communication skills as a significant negative predictor of perceived stress (β = −.185, p = .049), explaining 3.4% of the variance. No significant relationships were found between perceived stress and individual communication dimensions. Female students reported higher perceived stress than male students, whereas no differences were observed in interpersonal communication skills. Perceived stress and communication skills also did not differ by religion, education level, or ethnic background. Conclusion. Qualitative findings revealed that stress was experienced as a multidimensional and cumulative process, shaped by academic pressure, interpersonal conflict, family issues, environmental conditions, physical health, and intrapersonal struggles. Participants reported using a combination of adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies. Implementation. These findings suggest that interpersonal communication operates as a holistic protective resource rather than through isolated skill components. By integrating quantitative and qualitative evidence, this study extends existing research by highlighting the contextual and multifaceted nature of stress and coping in early adulthood.
