Abstract

This research examines the symptoms, causes, and effects of emotional pain
experienced by Vivien Hyde in Alice Munro's short story Amundsen. The purpose
of this study is to analyze how emotional pain is represented through Vivien Hyde's
emotional experiences and interpersonal relationships. The writer applies Gross's
Process Model of Emotion Regulation and uses a qualitative library research
method. The primary data are obtained from Amundsen, while secondary data are
collected from books and journal articles. The findings reveal that Vivien
experiences symptoms of emotional pain, including social embarrassment, guilt,
and emotional discomfort under evaluative judgment. The causes include
dismissive communication, emotional rejection, and a lack of emotional
connection. The effects include relational withdrawal, persistent difficulty in
emotional expression, and psychological vulnerability. This study shows that
emotional pain in Amundsen develops as a gradual psychological process shaped
by interpersonal interactions, emotional rejection, emotional suppression, and
relational distance. The findings also demonstrate that emotional pain is closely
connected to emotion regulation, as Vivien frequently manages emotional distress
through emotional withdrawal and expressive suppression.
