There are many factors that cause women not to marry, such as being the backbone of the family (sandwich generation), focusing on work and career, continuing their education, trauma either from their partner or from past family experiences, and not having found the right partner. This research aims to explore the psychological dynamics of unmarried adult women in sandwich generation families. The research uses qualitative methods with descriptive phenomenological analysis to understand the psychological dynamics of unmarried adult women in sandwich generation families. The data collection method involves interview techniques for in-depth exploration and comprehensive observation of the phenomenon that is the object of research. Data sources in this research consist of primary data sources and secondary data sources. The psychological dynamics of unmarried adult women in sandwich generation families consists of three main loci, namely cognition, affection and conation, which include multiple roles, pressure and social expectations towards them. An important theme that emerged from this research was the importance of open communication in helping adult women find a balance between their roles, dealing with internal conflicts, and communicating their needs and expectations clearly to their families. Open communication allows women to gain emotional support, create mutual understanding, and develop joint strategies for managing existing stress. Thus, this research highlights the importance of open communication as the main foundation in overcoming the psychological dynamics of unmarried adult women in sandwich generation families in Indonesia.</em></p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: <em>Open Communication, Adult Women, Family, Sandwich generation</em></p> Aryani Pamukti Elok Halimatus Sa'diyah ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-04-30 2024-04-30 10 01 1 13 10.30996/representamen.v10i01.9837 Penerapan Kegiatan Employee Relations dalam Mempertahankan Motivasi Kerja Karyawan PT Mandiri Tunas Finance di Jakarta https://jurnal.untag-sby.ac.id/index.php/representamen/article/view/10362 <p><em>PT Mandiri Tunas Finance is engaged in financing.

Horror films also depict the figures of a woman who is constructed to be scary. This can also lead to discrimination against women themselves. The purpose of this study was to determine the representation of women’s monstrosity in the film KKN Di Desa Penari. This research uses a qualitative method with Roland Barthes’s semiotic analysis knife which has two stages, the first stage is denotation, and the second stage is the connotation that will later produce myths. The theory used is the monstrous feminine from Barbara Creed. The data obtained from this study was by observing scenes in the film KKN Di Desa Penari and taking pictures or screenshot that were considered capable of representing female monstrosity. Parts of the film KKN Di Desa Penari are interpreted by researchers by interpreting based on the socio-culture that exists in the community. The result of this study is the representation of female monstrosity shown in the scenes of the film KKN Di Desa Penari in the physical form, sexuality, and anger of the woman’s body. This female monstrosity is also influenced by patriarchal culture, where this culture is a durable culture, especially in Indonesia. It can also lead to discrimination against women who are constructed in horror films.</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Female Monstrosity, Semiotics, Horror Film&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </em></p> Candra Setiawan ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-04-30 2024-04-30 10 01 30 41 10.30996/representamen.v10i01.10754 Analisis Wacana Kritis Cewek Kue, Cewek Bumi dan Cewek Mamba dalam Media Sosial Tiktok dan Twitter https://jurnal.untag-sby.ac.id/index.php/representamen/article/view/10760 <p><em>The terms Cewek Kue, Cewek Bumi and Cewek Mamba are currently massively heard on social media </em><br><em>Tiktok and Twitter. This term was popularized by Tiktok users @javamassie and refers to the dominance </em><br><em>of colors used by women on the outfits worn. This term was originally only used among Tiktok users, but </em><br><em>after reaching 3 million viewers on the videos he uploaded on Tiktok, this term then spread on another </em><br><em>social media, namely Twitter. The users of the Tiktok and Twitter accounts then began to identify </em><br><em>themselves as Cewek Kue, Cewek Bumi or Cewek Mamba by using similar captions "so it turns out that so</em><br><em>far w is a wkwk earth girl" based on the outfits they use. This becomes interesting when this identification</em><br><em>is pinned by the owner of the @javamassie account who is a man, to female Tiktok and Twitter users for </em><br><em>using the word "cewek". The use of language cannot be judged as it is, nor can the use of the terms cewek</em><br><em>kue, cewek bumi and cewek mamba. This study uses Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis to</em><br><em>see how the term influences gender discourse in social practice. The result of this research is that social </em><br><em>media no longer builds its own reality, no longer forms its own virtual world, but at that time the virtual </em><br><em>world and reality are intertwined with each other. The discourse present in social media can no longer be</em><br><em>underestimated, what happens in social media, no longer stays in social media. Discourse that is present </em><br><em>and moves in social media also influences discourse in reality life. Social media is no longer a safe place </em><br><em>and an intact public space, when the practice of power persists.</em></p> <p><br><em><strong>Keywords:</strong> Tiktok; Twitter; Critical Discourse Analysis; Gender; Norman Fairclough</em></p> Nara Garini Ayuningrum Fransisca Benedicta Avira Citra Paramita ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-04-30 2024-04-30 10 01 42 56 10.30996/representamen.v10i01.10760 Keterbukaan Diri Pada Jalinan Relasi Percintaan Masa Kontemporer Dengan Pengenalan Melalui Dating App Bumble https://jurnal.untag-sby.ac.id/index.php/representamen/article/view/10211 <p><em>Dating apps are the contemporary answer for individuals to connect with more individuals. Its essence as an online dating app makes Bumble provide the best features and various conveniences of the relationship building process. Using a qualitative approach, this research is conducted with the aim of knowing self-disclosure in contemporary romance relationships through the dating app Bumble. Bumble was chosen because of its popularity and good reviews among other dating apps. In building relationships through introduction to the Bumble dating app, individuals experience a process of self-disclosure stages as evidenced by social penetration theory. Social penetration proposed by Irwin Altman and Dalmas Taylor proves that individuals experience gradual communication openness from public to private like an onion peeling analogy. Social penetration theory is classified into 4 stages, namely orientation, affective exploratory exchange, affective exchange, and stable exchange. Supported by Mark Knapp's relationship theory which describes 5 individual stages in the process of building commitment, namely initiating, experimenting, intensifying, integrating, and bonding, strengthening the concrete evidence in this study. This study found that motivation has a major influence on the process of self-disclosure between individuals through the introduction of the dating app Bumble.</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Social Penetration, Bumble, Relationship Theory, Self-Disclosure </em></p> Vira Oktaviona Mukaromah Mukaromah ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-04-30 2024-04-30 10 01 57 75 10.30996/representamen.v10i01.10211 Terpaan Informasi Politik Di Media Sosial Terhadap Tingkat Partisipasi Politik Ibu-Ibu Dalam Pemilihan Presiden Tahun 2024 https://jurnal.untag-sby.ac.id/index.php/representamen/article/view/10705 <p><em>This research aims to analyze the level of exposure to political information on social media among female voters in the 2024 Indonesian Presidential candidate election in the city of Makassar.

Using a qualitative descriptive analysis method, this research aims to uncover the growing role of market intelligence in the selection of presidential and vice-presidential candidates in Indonesia and how the market-oriented approach provides opportunities to analyze political parties' attitudes toward the four stakeholder groups (voter, competitor, internal, and external orientation). The research findings reveal that factors such as youth, regional prominence, governmental and business experience, and the continuity of previous programs were the primary considerations in Gibran's selection. This approach enables political parties to be more effective in choosing candidates who align with the needs and aspirations of the public. Furthermore, Gibran's candidacy illustrates the significant role played by voter, competitor, internal, and external orientation in the selection process.</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: market intelligence, market-oriented party, market-oriented presidential candidacy, political party</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em></p> Ratu Mega Maulina Putri Nyarwi Ahmad ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-04-30 2024-04-30 10 01 115 126 10.30996/representamen.v10i01.10193 Analisis Teori Determinasi Teknologi Pada Aplikasi “Teman Bumil” sebagai Sumber Informasi https://jurnal.untag-sby.ac.id/index.php/representamen/article/view/10468 <p><em>The need for health information, especially during pregnancy for women, is something that is very important for pregnant women to obtain.
