Penerbit: Afiq Shahiri 7 June 2023 

Gangguan personaliti merupakan satu keadaan mental yang dicirikan oleh corak pemikiran, perasaan, dan tingkah laku yang berbeza daripada norma masyarakat dan kekal dalam jangka masa panjang. Ia boleh menjejaskan fungsi harian dan hubungan interpersonal seseorang individu. Di Malaysia, kesedaran tentang gangguan ini semakin meningkat, namun masih terdapat banyak stigma dan salah faham mengenainya.

Jenis-jenis Gangguan Personaliti

Menurut Manual Diagnostik dan Statistik Gangguan Mental (DSM-5), gangguan personaliti boleh diklasifikasikan kepada beberapa kategori utama:

1. Gangguan Personaliti Klasifikasi A (Eksentrik atau Aneh):

   • Paranoid: Mempunyai kepercayaan bahawa orang lain berniat jahat atau tidak boleh dipercayai.
   • Schizoid: Mengelakkan hubungan sosial dan tidak menunjukkan banyak emosi.
   • Schizotypal: Memiliki pemikiran atau kelakuan aneh dan percaya pada perkara yang luar biasa.

2. Gangguan Personaliti Klasifikasi B (Dramatik, Emosional atau Tidak Stabil):

   • Antisosial: Tidak mengambil kira hak atau perasaan orang lain.
   • Borderline: Emosi yang tidak stabil, imej diri yang kabur, dan hubungan yang tidak tetap.
   • Histrionik: Sentiasa mencari perhatian dan cenderung dramatik.
   • Narsistik: Mempunyai perasaan kepentingan diri yang berlebihan dan memerlukan penghargaan berterusan.

3. Gangguan Personaliti Klasifikasi C (Cemas atau Takut):

   • Avoidant: Mengelak daripada situasi sosial kerana rasa takut terhadap kritikan atau penolakan.
   • Dependent: Bergantung secara berlebihan kepada orang lain untuk membuat keputusan dan memenuhi keperluan diri.
   • Obsessive-Compulsive: Terlalu fokus kepada kesempurnaan, peraturan, dan kawalan.

Faktor Penyumbang di Malaysia

Terdapat pelbagai faktor yang boleh menyumbang kepada perkembangan gangguan personaliti di kalangan rakyat Malaysia:

1. Budaya dan Sosial:

   • Tekanan sosial dan harapan budaya yang tinggi, seperti kepentingan keluarga dan kejayaan akademik, boleh mencetuskan atau memperburuk gangguan personaliti.
   • Stigma sosial terhadap gangguan mental menyebabkan ramai individu tidak mendapatkan bantuan yang diperlukan.

2. Ekonomi:

   • Kesempitan hidup dan tekanan ekonomi boleh mempengaruhi kesejahteraan mental seseorang.
   • Perubahan pantas dalam ekonomi negara turut memberi kesan kepada kestabilan emosi dan psikologi rakyat.

3. Keluarga dan Persekitaran:

   • Pengalaman zaman kanak-kanak yang negatif, seperti penderaan atau pengabaian, boleh menyumbang kepada perkembangan gangguan personaliti.
   • Dinamika keluarga yang disfungsional juga boleh menjadi faktor risiko.

4. Genetik dan Biologi:

   • Faktor genetik mungkin memainkan peranan dalam perkembangan gangguan personaliti, di mana sejarah keluarga dengan gangguan mental boleh meningkatkan risiko.

Prevalensi dan Cabaran dalam Penjagaan

Kajian menunjukkan bahawa gangguan personaliti agak umum di kalangan rakyat Malaysia, namun prevalensinya sering diabaikan atau disalah tafsir sebagai masalah sosial atau moral. National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) pada tahun 2015 mencatatkan bahawa sekitar 29.2% rakyat Malaysia mengalami masalah kesihatan mental, yang termasuk pelbagai jenis gangguan personaliti.

Cabaran utama dalam menangani gangguan personaliti di Malaysia termasuk:

1. Kekurangan Kesedaran dan Pendidikan:

   • Masih terdapat banyak salah faham dan kurang pengetahuan tentang gangguan ini.
   • Usaha pendidikan awam masih kurang, menyebabkan kesedaran masyarakat terhadap isu ini berada pada tahap yang rendah.

2. Akses kepada Rawatan:

   • Kekurangan sumber dan kemudahan perubatan untuk rawatan kesihatan mental di kawasan luar bandar.
   • Kurangnya pakar psikologi dan psikiatri yang terlatih dalam menangani gangguan personaliti.

3. Stigma dan Diskriminasi:

• Individu dengan gangguan personaliti sering berhadapan dengan stigma dan diskriminasi, yang menyukarkan mereka untuk mendapatkan bantuan atau rawatan.
• Tanggapan negatif masyarakat terhadap gangguan mental menghalang mereka daripada mendapatkan sokongan yang diperlukan.

Intervensi dan Sokongan

Untuk mengatasi masalah gangguan personaliti di kalangan rakyat Malaysia, beberapa langkah boleh diambil:

1. Meningkatkan Kesedaran dan Pendidikan:

   • Melalui kempen kesedaran awam dan program pendidikan di sekolah untuk mengurangkan stigma dan meningkatkan pemahaman mengenai gangguan personaliti.
   • Penglibatan media dalam menyebarkan maklumat yang betul dan mengurangkan stereotaip negatif tentang gangguan ini.

2. Memperbaiki Akses kepada Rawatan:

   • Meningkatkan bilangan pakar kesihatan mental dan kemudahan di seluruh negara, terutamanya di kawasan luar bandar.
   • Menyediakan latihan untuk profesional kesihatan agar mereka lebih bersedia untuk menangani kes gangguan personaliti.

3. Menyokong Keluarga dan Komuniti:

   • Menyediakan sokongan dan sumber untuk keluarga dan individu yang terjejas, seperti kumpulan sokongan dan perkhidmatan kaunseling.
   • Menggalakkan persekitaran yang inklusif dan penyayang dalam komuniti untuk membantu individu yang menghadapi gangguan personaliti.

4. Mengembangkan Polisi dan Sokongan Kerajaan:

   • Kerajaan perlu menggubal dasar yang menyokong penjagaan kesihatan mental yang komprehensif dan mudah diakses.
   • Meningkatkan pembiayaan dan sumber untuk program kesihatan mental di seluruh negara.

Gangguan personaliti adalah isu yang signifikan dan memerlukan perhatian serius di Malaysia. Dengan meningkatkan kesedaran, memperbaiki akses kepada rawatan, mengurangkan stigma, dan menyediakan sokongan yang berkesan, kita boleh membantu mereka yang terjejas oleh gangguan ini untuk menjalani kehidupan yang lebih baik dan lebih bermakna.

Persuasion Knowledge in the Marketplace: A Meta-Analysis

Written by: Martin Eisend & Farid Tarrahi

Introduction – Case Study

    This study relies on the notion of persuasion to anticipate reactions to marketers' attempts to convince customers with varying levels of persuasion expertise. The report includes a meta-analysis of the findings from 148 studies and 171 separate data sets. Persuasion knowledge effects are significant when compared to persuasion attempts, but it cannot suppress or eliminate persuasion effects in the marketplace since it only reaches roughly 50% of the explanatory power of persuasion. The impacts of persuasion knowledge on assessments and coping are dependent on the parameters of the persuasive process. All persuasion factors assist customers in identifying and better understanding benefits not just for themselves, but also for marketers and how marketers realize those benefits.

 

Discussion

    According to Campbell & Kirmani in their 2008 research in terms of the substance and structure of persuasion knowledge effects, research shows that persuasion knowledge enhances consumers' coping reactions and leads to fewer positive ratings. Additionally, other studies indicate that the persuasive impact is not as positive. However, other studies claim that they have discovered a wide range in the impact of persuasive information and that in some circumstances, it may even result in a favourable assessment of the persuasive agent.

    Other than that, we go to another side of researchers said consumers' understanding and opinions about marketers' attempts at persuasion, as well as their motivations and strategies behind those efforts, are referred to as their level of persuasion knowledge. It is the notion of persuasion is at the heart of persuasion knowledge, thus knowing what persuasion comprises is necessary to define persuasion knowledge. The prevalent understanding of persuasion is that it is a deliberate attempt through communication to influence a recipient who has some degree of freedom of choice, despite the fact that there are several definitions, conceptualizations, and persuasion models. In conclusion, persuasiveness in business is advantageous to all parties involved, including the sender and the influencer This, together with persuasive expertise, is a typical assumption in persuasion models.

    After that, we also want to take you to another angle to think about the definition of the concept of persuasion, knowledge of persuasion can apply to and have an impact on results that the influencer either intends or does not intend. This means the judgments, intentions, behaviour, and recollections of customers that are connected to a brand, a channel, or a company are referred to as the influencers' desired results in a marketing setting. If customers learn persuasive strategies that are advantageous to both them and the marketer, and if they notice that marketers employ potentially manipulative tactics and may even be trying to limit consumers' options. Finally, they found out that This overwhelming response is the result that the marketer did not intend. they develop resilience and response to persuasion results.

Article critique

From the Journal sentence criticism 1: In this study, we refer to the concept of persuasion to systematize consumer responses triggered by persuasion knowledge and to identify relevant moderators of persuasion knowledge effects.

    In my point of view, this journal should provide a comprehensive study, in terms of the response of persuasion in marketing. This is because it can happen in many forms and persuasive advertising can be quite impersonal, unlike direct sales, when the salesperson often talks one-on-one with the consumer. Advertisers can only customize advertising so much without compromising their mass appeal because they want their ads to reach as many potential customers as possible.

From the Journal sentence criticism 2: Insights about persuasion knowledge effects are of interest to researchers, marketers, consumers, and public policymakers because they carry major implications for marketing actions’ effectiveness and consumers’ susceptibility to these actions.

         This is because in my perception this kind of action is not professional and It will attempt to influence the most fundamental human emotions and utilize that manipulation to take advantage of unsuspecting clients. An illustration of an unethical commercial is one that exploits people's fears. It can appear that if customers do not buy the offered goods, their health would be in jeopardy.

          In conclusion, the persuasive strategy plays on the buyer's fears and emphasizes what they would lose if they didn't buy the good or service. In my opinion, I would like to suggest some things for improvement in this strategy without jeopardizing their investments to buy goods from marketers. To provide a basis for future research ideas on persuasion knowledge is very necessary to ensure the quality of goods and public knowledge. Limitations in giving persuasion can reduce pressure on buyers and anxiety about the situation.
