University of Malaya Researchers Report on Findings in Mental Health Diseases and Conditions (Soft Power and Stress: The Health Impacts of Indonesian Soap Operas on Malaysian Millennials).

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Malaya explores the impact of Indonesian soap operas on Malaysian millennials' mental health. The research suggests that exposure to Indonesian popular culture through media can lead to stress, emotional fatigue, and identity conflicts, particularly when it challenges established cultural and religious norms. By understanding this interplay, future research can focus on developing media literacy strategies and providing psychological support to help viewers navigate potential stressors from cross-cultural media consumption.
