Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of gender stereotypes on the main character portrayed in a patriarchal society in the Disney movie Mulan (1998). More specifically, the purpose of this study is to find out the depiction of gender stereotypes in the movie and the psychological impact experienced by Mulan as a result of gender stereotypes in society. This study uses Erik Erikson’s developmental psychology theory to review the impact of gender stereotypes on Mulan at the adolescent stage. This study applied the qualitative method to analyze the data consisting of words, sentences, and dialogues. The data was collected through several steps, such as watching and reading the movie script, identifying, and classifying. Based on the results of this study, it shows gender stereotypes in the movie. In the female stereotype, there is the depiction of women as second class citizen, women are restriction on public speech, adherence to Chinese beauty/physical standard, and limitation to domestic roles and duties. On the other hand, male stereotypes are depicted such as exhibiting physical and mental strength, showing aggression, and manifesting ‘no sissy stuff’. Gender stereotypes in the Disney Movie Mulan (1998) affect Mulan’s psychological development in several aspects, such as leading in low self-esteem, future career tendencies, and roles in the social sphere. Keywords: Gender Stereotype, Psychological Development Impact, Patriarchal Society
