%A NIM.: 20101050063 Muhammad Syauqi Aunillah %O Harsiwi Fajar Sari, S.S, M.A. %T A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF RECIPROCAL DETERMINISM IN SILENCE (2016) AND THE MESSAGE (1976) %X The films “Silence” (2016) and “The Message” (1976) portray the dynamic role of missionary characters in the context of opposing social problems. The comparison of the two films is the purpose of the research to understand the relationship of social influence on individuals. Using the concept of reciprocal determinism from social cognitive theory, this study analyzes the relationship between personal, behavioral, and environmental factors that influence the self-formation of the two main characters. A comparative literature study is also applied in this research to explore how both characters face social challenges from different cultural perspectives. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods and uses data analysis in the form of scenes, dialogues, and various aspects of the film. The results of this study reveal differences in the responses and strategies of each character. Although both characters face the same social conditions, the findings show that there are different variations in their personal factors, behaviors and environmental influences, which in turn influence their different outputs. As such, this research provides further understanding of how individuals interact with the social, as well as how personal and behavioral choices can shape or be altered by the environment. %K Reciprocal Determinism, Perbandingan Sastra, Karakter, Silence, The Message %D 2024 %I UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA %L digilib75118
