The Theory Learning Theory proposed by Dr. Albert Bandura, a pioneer in Psychology, especially Social Psychology, emphasizes the fact that much of our learning takes place by observing, imitating, and modeling the actions or behaviors, reactions, and attitudes of others in our area (examples we want to emulate). Simply put, Drs. Bandura says we all learn in our environment by looking, whether it is good behavior or bad attitude.
In modern times, the media and movies have a huge role to play in shaping a child during his or her formative years. The current generation has easy access to any kind of content online and on television as well. What we will be looking at today in this article is the result of love films in the mental health of a child.
Romance films are those that often explore romantic themes (love at first sight, love of young children, painful love, ongoing happiness, and so on), lust, love, sex, sex, the emotional involvement of the two best characters, and the journey taken by their love in courtship or marriage. These films show the various difficulties faced by couples, class issues, economic differences, color or race, finances, and more; the plan focuses on whether they can overcome these obstacles and continue to be together or part ways.
Research shows that movies and the media influence children and adults in several ways and influence their views of them and their environment. Often films act as a fabric that gives the world they live in, a certain meaning.
Children and adults are looking for romantic content for two main reasons -
they would like to see a relationship work despite all the challenges the couple faces as well
learning about romantic relationships.
Some of the ways romantic movies affect children and young adults -
1. Doing good - Research shows that repeated exposure to romantic content leads to the formation of 'good principles' in the minds of children and adults regarding love and relationships. The concepts of 'love at first sight, 'first date', 'love to conquer all, 'childhood lovers' are some of the most common themes found in romantic films.
Studies show that children and adults exposed to romantic films are more anticipating what things will be like, and look forward to the luxury of their first day or other themes mentioned earlier, as influenced by what they see on screen - a candlestick in a luxury restaurant, a boy picking up a girl by car and so on. This often leads to frustration and disappointment when events do not turn around.
Children and young adults are also prone to think in terms of the whole concept of love, as these films have their usual ways of how romance happens, dating time ultimately leads to marriage, and the idea of ‘always happy’.
It is not uncommon for children and adults to be portrayed in a romantic film, premarital life, commitments, the ongoing effort to keep the marriage alive, the changes made by the couple when they first started building their home, the various roles they play and how they support each other through difficult times.
The result of positive thinking can lead to a rocky relationship in the future, as is the case with what they see on screen.
2. Body - A person's attitude, feelings, and behavior in his or her body. Children and adults alike, are influenced by what the media and films portray as the ideal way to look.
Studies show that babies also have a normal sense of body, and as children grow intellectually, physically, and socially, their bodies also grow on the side. In addition, the findings suggest that children between the ages of 5 and 6, when asked to choose the right body size, choose one that is thinner than their current body size.
The films emphasize girls or women looking younger, more beautiful, and thinner and boys with toned bodies, to make a suitable or desirable partner. Obese characters are often portrayed as unhappy and unmotivated.
Children and adults are under tremendous pressure to look for ways to fit in with their peers, leading to many mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.
3. Combined Messages - Children portrayed in romantic movies often show behaviors that conflict with the norms of society as a whole.
Today, especially in a country like ours, where the relationship between a boy and a girl at school or a very young age, in a romantic sense, is still a distraction, reel life creates a sense of confusion, they are not sure if it is right or not.
In more secure families where these topics are not discussed, it leads to frustration as children and adults experience physical and hormonal changes, are attracted to the opposite sex but do not know if it is okay to hear what they are going through and I have no one to talk to.
In a popular movie series, a leading man loves his wife excessively and is jealous of her connection with his best friend and these are the themes that are portrayed as attractive, and in real life, the habit of possessions or jealousy can have serious consequences in a relationship.
Miscellaneous messages like these can confuse the minds of children and adolescents.
4. Other Posters Too - Romance movies also positively affect children and adults. The findings suggest that people who have embraced romantic ideas remain more committed to their relationships and experience strong and comparatively strong romantic feelings.
