Penelitian ini membahas novel yang berjudul The Best of Me karya seorang novelis asal Amerika, Nicholas Sparks. Novel ini menceritakan sebuah kisah cinta unik yang dialami oleh Dawson Cole yang jatuh cinta kepada cinta pertamanya, Amanda Collier. Cinta pertama Dawson adalah seseorang yang mampu memberikan pengaruh terhadap kehidupannya. Tujuan dari pada penelitian ini guna mengungkap pengaruh-pengaruh yang diberikan oleh cinta pertama Dawson terhadap kehidupannya. Oleh karena itu, penulis merumuskan tiga permasalahan, antara lain: (1) “Bagaimana tokoh Dawson digambarkan di dalam novel?”, (2) Bagaimana cinta Dawson berkembang seiring berjalannya waktu?” dan (3) “Pengaruh apa saja yang diberikan oleh cinta pertama Dawson terhadap kehidupannya?” Dalam penelitian ini, penulis mengaplikasikan pendeketan psikologis. Pendekatan ini diperlukan guna menganilisa perubahan kepribadian dari tokoh utama dalam novel. Disamping itu, pendekatan ini diperlukan untuk memperjelas bahwa analisa yang dibuat berdasarkan pandangan psikologis. Dalam penelitian ini, terdapat tiga hasil analisa. Hasil analisa yang pertama adalah gambaran tokoh Dawson Cole. Dawson digambarkan sebagai seorang pria yang berumur empat puluh dua tahun yang senang menyendiri. Disamping itu, Dawson juga memiliki sifat penyayang, setia dan baik hati. Hasil analisa yang kedua mengungkap perkembangan cinta Dawson kepada cinta pertamanya seiring berjalannya waktu yang terbagi menjadi tiga tahap, antara lain: cinta pada pandangan pertama, cinta yang berdasarkan perasaan, dan cinta sejati. Hasil analisa yang ketiga mengungkap pengaruh-pengaruh yang diberikan cinta pertama Dawson terhadap kehidupan masa lalu dan kehidupan masa kininya. Pada kehidupan masa lalunya, pengaruh-pengaruh yang diberikan oleh cinta pertama Dawson mampu membuat dia merencanakan masa depannya dan membagikan kepedulian, cinta, dan kebaikannya kepada cinta pertamanya. Pada kehidupan masa kininya, Dawson mampu menegaskan bahwa mencintai cinta pertamanya merupakan hal yang sangat berharga bagi dirinya, sedangkan cintanya harus mampu memberikan kebahagiaan terhadap orang yang dicintainya, dan hal itu membuat Dawson menjadi seseorang yang bersedia mengorbankan ego untuk orang lain. Penelitian ini memberikan anjuran kepada peneliti-peniliti selanjutnya. Anjuran pada penelitian ini adalah mengenai analisa yang berdasarkan motif Tuck Hostetler, ayah angkat maupun teman Dawson, terhadap keinginannya untuk mempertemukan Dawson dengan cinta pertamanya dalam surat wasiatnya.
