Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the causality of successive psychological changes occurring in the process of growth through the internal conflicts of main characters in the aspects of psychodynamics. Psychodynamics refers to dynamic struggle resulted from unconscious motivation or intention. To protect oneself from that internal conflict, one goes through the process of negotiation through unconscious interaction, and what works at this time is ‘self-defense mechanism’. The primitive attribute of this is self-deceptive coping to avoid problems in reality causing fear by distorting it or adjust oneself to it. Therefore, this study focuses on the fact that defense mechanism works as a variable to distort the character’s ultimate desire and is the core process of psychodynamics to determine the character’s ‘growth’. For the research, first, this author selected three animation works containing the typical stories of growth to recover self-identity. To verify the logic with contrast between growth and growth failure, this researcher chose one ‘leading’ and one ‘reactionary’ character. Lastly, the characteristics of defense mechanism types were used as the criteria of analysis. Through this, it has been found that in the characters’ psychodynamics, ① fear arises due to their internalized deficit, ② their desire gets distorted by the functions of defense mechanism, and ③ their distorted desire gets to be recovered through overcoming fear. To sum up, this researcher has concluded that the structure of psychodynamic growth is the process of endeavoring to convert primitive and immature defense mechanism into mature one to look squarely at and embrace their own deficits and link it with their own ultimate desire. Lastly, it was hard to analyze the internal variables of those animation characters because the characters could not manifest substantial humans holistically and all the information collected was lines in the works and their acting. Therefore, this author intends to end this research suggesting you to complement it afterwards through exchange and cooperation with other related sciences.
