Thesis (Ph.D.)--Adelphi University, The Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies, 2017.

Objective: With this study, I sought to explain from a psychological point of view why movies are so popular. Media psychology research has demonstrated that among the reasons viewers enjoy films are such social-cognitive gratifications as character engagement and contemplative experiences. Building on this research, I hypothesized that viewers experience a form of transference when they identify with the characters in a film. Method: My study included 170 total participants. I showed a short film to a group of participants ( n = 93). Before and after viewing, they completed some objective and projective measures that assessed their internal object representations, or relational schemas, as well as measures of emotional states. A control group of participants (n = 77) completed Sudoku puzzles for the duration of the film. Results: I found that participants who watched the film experienced an increase in positive emotion and a decrease in negative emotion. Furthermore, participants who endorsed the aforementioned social-cognitive gratifications from the film experienced a stronger emotional response, as did participants who scored higher on a measure of trait empathy. The findings from the measures assessing object representations did not validate my hypotheses, largely because participants in the control group also showed changes on the measures. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of empathy in the movie watching experience, particularly in influencing viewers' emotional responses, and raise questions for further study in this area. I draw some conclusions and make suggestions for future studies.
