Abstract

Pop music has long been recognized as a potent vehicle for cultural expression, yet its specific function as a cognitive behavioral tool remains under-explored in literary and psychological studies. While musical anthems are often viewed primarily as entertainment, recent interdisciplinary research suggests they play a crucial role in shaping individual identity and facilitating psychological resilience. Addressing this intersection of pop culture and social psychology, this study analyzes Lady Gaga’s anthem, "Born This Way," through the lens of Daryl Bem’s (1967) Self-Perception Theory. The primary objective is to investigate how the song functions not merely as an artistic expression of solidarity, but as a specific psychological instrument for identity reconstruction. Methodologically, the research utilizes a qualitative textual analysis to systematically map specific lyrical directives against Bem’s theoretical framework, interpreting them as behavioral stimuli that precede attitude formation. By examining cues such as the physical command to "put your paws up," the grooming ritual of "rolling hair," and the role-adoption of "being a queen," the analysis identifies how these external actions influence the listener’s self-concept. The results indicate that the song’s repetitive verbal affirmations and the rejection of "drag" (insecure) behaviors effectively reprogram the listener’s self-image by validating a "behavior-first" approach to confidence. Furthermore, the article connects these lyrical interventions to developmental psychology, illustrating how external validation and active social posturing foster a sense of social freedom. Ultimately, this research concludes that "Born This Way" operates as a mechanism for self-liberation, proving that the performance of confident actions is a precursor to the internal realization of self-worth

Abstract

This study examines how Briony Tallis' misunderstanding of the relationship between Cecilia Tallis and Robbie Turner develops into misinterpretation and ultimately leads to destruction in Joe Wright's Atonement (2007). Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research applies Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory as elaborated in Albertine Minderop's Psikologi Sastra, focusing on the defense mechanisms of repression, projection, and rationalization, the notion of psychological conflict, and the classification of emotions such as guilt, self-punishment, shame, and sadness. The framework is used to trace the unconscious psychological processes that shape Briony's perception and drive her toward a false accusation with irreversible consequences for the people around her. This article presents the theoretical and methodological foundation of the study together with an initial findings and discussion section tracing this psychological process through four key scenes; precise scene timestamps and short verbatim quotations remain to be finalized in a subsequent stage of the research following a dedicated re-viewing of the film. The study is expected to contribute to literary studies by showing how a psychoanalytic reading can explain the process through which a character's inner conflict transforms into a larger narrative of misinterpretation and destruction
