Abstract

This research aimed to develop a 3D animation media presenting the issue of bullying among youth through symbolic storytelling. The objectives were: 1) to design and develop a 3D animation reflecting youth defense mechanisms against bullying; 2) to convey the perspectives and psychological states of children who experience emotional violence from bullying through symbolic storytelling; and 3) to evaluate youth satisfaction with the developed animation.
