Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes how Arthur Fleck is portrayed as an anti-hero in Todd Phillips's Joker (2019) by clarifying the conceptual distinction between an anti-hero, a villain, a protagonist, and a psychologically vulnerable character. Research Method: A qualitative research design was employed using textual and visual analysis. Data were collected from selected scenes and dialogues through repeated viewing, qualitative coding based on Abrams' (1999) anti-hero framework, and close analysis of cinematography, mise-en-scène, framing, lighting, sound, editing, and characterization. Results and Discussion: The findings reveal that Arthur Fleck is represented as a morally ambiguous anti-hero whose characterization is primarily reflected through three dominant traits: fragility, ineffectuality, and loneliness. These characteristics become anti-heroic through their interaction with Arthur's moral choices, narrative centrality, and audiovisual representation rather than through psychological vulnerability alone. Implications: The study offers a clearer framework for analyzing anti-heroes in contemporary cinema. Originality: It integrates Abrams' anti-hero theory with systematic textual and visual analysis, extending previous studies that primarily emphasized plot or psychological interpretation.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify the relationship between the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) education and anxiety levels in pregnant women in their third trimester. The primary focus is on the effectiveness of SEFT intervention as a non-pharmacological approach in helping to manage anxiety, as well as providing a comprehensive overview of the characteristics of the respondents and changes in anxiety levels before and after the intervention. Research Method: This study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with a sample size of 30 pregnant women in their third trimester. The intervention took the form of structured SEFT education with materials, demonstrations, and guided independent practice by health workers. Data collection included measuring anxiety levels before and after the intervention using standard instruments, which were then analyzed to observe any changes that occurred. Results and Discussion: The results showed a significant decrease in anxiety after SEFT education. Before the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced mild anxiety, while after the intervention, the majority did not experience anxiety. Respondents in the “Good” SEFT education category were mainly in the “No Anxiety” category, supporting the view that targeted education can improve the mental preparedness of pregnant women before childbirth. Implications: This study emphasizes the importance of integrating SEFT education into antenatal care programs as a promotive and preventive strategy. Practically, SEFT can be an easily implemented intervention in primary healthcare facilities at a low cost, yet with a high impact. Recommendations for further research include the use of a control group design, a larger sample size, and a longer observation period to strengthen the validity of the findings.
