Abstract

Every person is created with a unique character that distinguishes one from
another in thinking, behaving, or responding to a certain situation. This is then
reflected in Jake Sully as the main character in the Avatar movie which then affects
his social interactions in society. This study used the Avatar (2009) movie by James
Cameron as the object of this study and applied the personality traits theory from
McCrae and Costa and the social interaction theory from Tischler.

The method used in this research was descriptive qualitative. Two types of
data were used in this study, namely primary and secondary. Primary data were
taken from the movie. Meanwhile, secondary data were taken from e-books, ejournals,

and articles about personality traits and social interaction. There were
several steps to analyze the data, such as watching the movie and reading the script
of Avatar (2009), identifying data, classifying data, and reducing data.

The result that can be drawn from this study is that the personality traits
found in Jake Sully are extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and
openness to experience. Meanwhile, the social interactions performed by Jake Sully
are non-verbal behavioral, exchange, cooperation, and conflict. From the result, it
can be concluded that there is a relationship between personality traits and social
interaction including the manifestation of personality traits in social interaction and
the influence of personality traits on social interaction. For instance, Jake has an
extraverted personality which makes him more expressive in socializing and can be
seen through his non-behavioral interaction, his openness to experience can also be
shown in exchange interaction for mutual benefit, his agreeableness affects
cooperation with others and conscientiousness is also reflected in his conflict.
Keywords: personality traits, social interaction, avatar (2009)
