REPRESENTATION OF FAMILY VALUES IN A THREADS VIDEO
Keywords:
Threads video, Family value, Bioecological theory, Conflict resolution, Emotional ClosenessAbstract
This study analyzes a short video on Threads showing emotional interactions within a family. It focuses on the values of empathy, emotional closeness, and peaceful conflict resolution. The video shows a toddler who spontaneously eases tension between her father and her older sibling with a simple but meaningful gesture. This study uses a qualitative approach based on Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Model (PPCT) to explore the dynamics of interactions within the family context. This context acts as a microsystem that shapes children's value development. The analysis shows that family values are not just taught through words; they are also formed through everyday emotional experiences. A child is seen as an active emotional agent who influences the family atmosphere through empathetic actions. The results show that family values can develop through unplanned emotional experiences that occur in everyday moments. Children are not only recipients of values but also play an active role in bringing about changes in the family atmosphere. Thus, family values are not just shared through words or formal teachings; they also develop from natural experiences in daily life.
