Institutional Repository UIN Sunan Kalijaga YogyakartaCHILDREN PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT ON FAMILY DISRUPTION AS PORTRAYED IN RUKHSANA KHAN’S A NEW LIFE (2009)NIM.: 20101050055Tsabita Nafahatus SahariyahauthorThis research examines factors influencing children's personality development in A New Life, a novel by Rukhsana Khan published by Groundwood Books in 2009. The story explores children's experiences adapting to a new environment and how these challenges affect their personal growth within the family. The study applies Alfred Adler's personality theory, which includes key ideas such as feelings of inferiority, striving for superiority, social interest, and lifestyle. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study analyzes the characters Hamza and Khadija by interpreting the factors shaping their personalities. The results of this research show that Hamza and Khadija's feelings of inferiority stem from difficulties in language and adjusting to a new culture, such as Hamza feeling undervalued by his classmates. Hamza's efforts to prove his abilities demonstrate his striving for superiority, although these actions sometimes have negative consequences. Social interest is reflected in moments of empathy, like when Khadija recognizes the difficulties her friend is facing. Hamza and Khadija's lifestyle is also shown through the moment when they are new in Canada, which has a different culture and environment from Pakistan. The study also emphasizes the role of parents in giving emotional support and encouraging a positive mindset, showing that a combination of internal and external factors shapes a child's personality.362.82 Hubungan Orang Tua- Anak2025-03-03UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ADAB DAN ILMU BUDAYAThesis
