Abstract

Anxiety is a very common thing felt by every human being. Anxiety can be caused by external factors or internal factors. Regardless of age, anxiety is not only felt by adults, but children also feel anxiety, as felt by the main character in the children's storybook Turning Red (2022). This study uses the children's storybook Turning Red (2022) by Cynthea Liu as the object of the study. This study aims to determine Meilin's anxieties, as well as the defense mechanisms used to reduce her anxieties using Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis theory. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. Two types of data were used in this study: primary data and secondary data. Primary data were obtained from the storybook Turning Red (2022), and secondary data were obtained from books, e-journals, and articles related to anxiety and defense mechanisms. Several steps were taken to obtain data, such as reading storybooks, identifying data, classifying data, and reducing data. The results obtained from this study found two types of anxiety experienced by Meilin. The types of anxiety found were neurotic anxiety and moral anxiety. Then, there were four types of defense mechanisms used by Meilin. The defense mechanisms found were displacement, denial, rationalization, and regression. Keywords: Anxiety, Defense Mechanisms, Psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, Turning Red children's storybook.
