Journal Article
The Psychological Conflict of Megan in Erin Cressida Wilson's the Girl on the Train Film in Terms of Kurt Lewin's Approach- Avoidance Theory
2023
Overview
A psycholinguistic theoretical framework, namely, Approach- Avoidance Theory, devised by Kurt Lewin, is adopted to investigate, analyze and interpret The Girl On The Train, a film written by Erin Cressida Wilson. This film is about relationship troubles from three different women's narratives. The aim of the current study is to describe the types of psychological conflict of Megan, one of the main characters in the film, the causes of her psychological conflict as well as the impact of her psychological conflict based on Kurt Lewin's perspective. According to Kurt Lewin's theory, psychological conflicts are divided into three types: (1) approach-approach conflict (a person presented with two desirable options), (2) avoidance-avoidance conflict (a person presented with two unwanted alternatives), and (3) approach-avoidance conflict (a person presented with two options which are both desirable and undesirable at the same time). Lewin's theoretical framework is basically applied to detect the inner conflict of Megan in the film. The film is examined through the three types of inner conflict of Lewin's theory by analyzing Megan's speeches that show her interpersonal conflicts. The analysis proves that Megan has a lot of inner conflicts about her dead brother, her dead child as well as her relationships with her husband.
