‘Kata Ciptaan’ Remaja Personaliti ‘Neurotisme’ di Blog ( ‘Invented Words’ by Adolescent Bloggers with Neuroticism Personality Tendencies)
Abstract
Kajian ini bertujuan melihat penggunaan ‘kata ciptaan’ oleh remaja yang berkomunikasi menggunakan penulisan teks di internet dalam kecenderungan personaliti neurotisme. Kajian ini menganalisis kiriman dua blog remaja yang aktif menulis kiriman blog sepanjang tahun 2012 sahaja. Kedua-dua remaja ini disaring daripada 20 remaja lain yang dipilih secara rawak oleh penyelidik. Analisis kajian ini dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan mengaplikasikan Teori Big Five Personality oleh McCrae dan Costa (1997). Dalam teori ini, selain Neuroticisme, terdapat empat lagi kecenderungan personaliti, iaitu extraversion, aggreeableness, openess, dan conscientiousness. Hasil kajian ini mendapati wujudnya kata-kata ciptaan yang digunakan dalam teks kiriman blog oleh kedua-dua remaja ini. Penggunaan kata ciptaan dalam kiriman teks dalam blog ini berlaku disebabkan oleh pengaruh emosi terhadap remaja ketika berkomunikasi dalam blog. Kepelbagaian emosi ini menyebabkan remaja berkomunikasi tanpa kekangan dengan komuniti remaja kelompok yang sama sahaja. Teks yang terhasil itu difahami oleh golongan remaja sahaja dan pemilihan perkataan juga berlainan daripada makna yang sebenarnya. Penggunaan perkataan yang terhasil itu menyebabkan personaliti remaja turut terpengaruh sama ada daripada sifat positif dan sifat negatif. Kata-kata ciptaan yang terhasil lazimnya berlaku dalam komunikasi di rangkaian sosial terutamanya blog. Kata-kata ciptaan ini berkembang dan digunakan oleh remaja lainnya yang berkomunikasi bersama atau membaca kiriman blog yang dihantar. Akibatnya, kata ciptaan yang digunakan secara meluas dan menyebabkan perkataan berkenaan berlainan daripada makna asalnya. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan implikasi dalam mengenal personaliti melalui kewujudan kata ciptaan dalam penulisan teks di rangkaian sosial internet sahaja yang berlainan makna dari kata asalnya. Kajian ini juga dapat memberikan gambaran personaliti remaja di internet berbanding antara muka.

ABSTRACT
This study examines the use of ‘invented words' by adolescent bloggers with Neuroticism personality tendencies. This study analyzes two adolescent bloggers who actively wrote blog posts in 2012. Both adolescents were chosen from 20 adolescents who were randomly selected by the researchers. The analysis was conducted qualitatively by applying the theory of the Big Five Personality by McCrae and Costa (1997). Other than Neuroticism, this theory explains that there are four other personality tendencies, namely Extraversion, Agreeableness, Openness, and Conscientiousness. The results show the existence of invented words in the blog posts by both adolescents. The use of the invented words in blogs’ text occurred due to the influence of adolescent emotions while communicating in blogs. The diversity of these emotions prompted adolescents to communicate without the constraint of a similar youth community. The resulting text was understood by adolescents only and the selection of words differed from its true meaning. The use of the resulting words affected the adolescents’ personalities, to be either positively or negatively influenced. Most invented words resulted from communication in social networks, especially blogs. The invented words developed and were used by other adolescents who communicate with each other or read blog posts. As a result, the invented words were used widely and caused the words to differ from their original meanings. The result of this study indicates that the implications in understanding adolescents’ personalities through written text on internet social networking only differ from its original meaning. The study also provides a clear picture of adolescents’ personalities on the internet compared to face-to-face interaction.
