dc.description.abstractThe release of the Disney/Pixar movie Inside Out raised the question if scientifically accurate entertainment films can be used to educate a population of parents about childhood mental health. I conducted a study with two groups of college student participants who took a survey meant to measure parenting attitudes after either playing board games or watching the movie Inside Out. I hypothesized that participants who watched the movie would be more likely to make parenting decisions supported by the teachings of the movie. The results were analyzed using Chi Square and Repeated Measures ANOVA. Some aspects of the hypothesis were supported, but the majority were not. Overall I found that participants' attitudes about parenting were unaffected by the activity they participated in before taking the survey.en_US
