Abstract

Abstrak

This research examines the use of the term "baper" based on people's thinking in general, especially the millennial generation by using prototype theory. The variables used to determine what is called "baper", include: (a) Easily offended/sensitive, (b) Easily touched/sympathized, and (c) Overly confident. These variables were developed into eight case examples assessed in the form of a questionnaire. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires and recapitulated and then analyzed using a quantitative-qualitative descriptive method. The results of the study show that the variable that most influences the formation of "baper" cognition in society, especially the millennial generation, is overconfidence. Most people in general associate the concept of being emotional with their very high self-confidence because they feel they are special, this is related to emotional people who are rich in imagination. Meanwhile, the least influential variable is the easily touched or sympathetic variable.
