Dalam film ini dapat dilihat bahwa Nina adalah pribadi yang introvert. Dalam skripsi ini penulis membahas dan menganalisa tentang tipe pola asuh Erica dan pengaruhnya terhadap perkembangan kepribadian Nina menggunakan pendekatan psikologi. Nina adalah pribadi yang kurang pandai bersosialisasi dan memiliki tingkat kreativitas yang kurang yang mana dapat dilihat dari caranya menari balet yang sangat kaku dan tidak menarik.

Hasil dari analisa yang dilakukan menunjukan bahwa Erica adalah orang tua yang otoriter dan pola asuhnya memberikan pengaruh besar terhadap perkembangan kepribadian Nina. ix
