My idea of research would be how the social behavior of the youth is affected by watching movies. First, I would select a group of pre-teen girls who are new to the idea of teenage movies and are quite simple in terms the way they act, dress up or talk. Then conduct a survey regarding their initial behavioral patterns like gossiping, socializing, the kind of friends circle and where they hang out. And now, divide the group into two, 'A' and 'B'.
Group-A will be watching teenage movies in a controlled environment and Group-B will be left untouched. This conduct would span over a period of three months where Group-A will watch teenage drama movies like High School Musical, Cindrella Story, Confession of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mean Girls, Material Girls, Sydney White, etc.
After the 3 months of tests conducted, a final survey would be done on both the Groups. As a result, group "A" will definitely be following the celebrity lifestyles, like, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Vanessa Hudgens. They would be gossiping about fashion trends, music, designer clothings and accessories, make ups, girls night out and other things related to what they have only watched for about 3 months.
As for group "B", it would be the same. They would be simple and sober as they were, less changes are to be found.

This is a great experiment. More and more girls everyday want to be like celebrities and want to do what everyone else is doing. The media does change a lot of peoples perceptions of beauty and social life.
ReplyDeleteWould the parents of the nice girls give permission to have their daughters' minds warped? That's something researchers on kids have to think about.
ReplyDeleteYes about parents allowing is something we have to think about but in my experiment,they won't be made to watch the movies everyday. It would be a fun activity during the weekends or something they do once a week. I don't think that will be a problem then.And these are going to be teenage movies which is what most of the Hollywood movies are about these days so i don't think parents will have a problem. i don't know I mean that's my view point.
