Abstract
Given this large involvement that children have with motion pictures, an educator is moved to inquire into the possible effects that movies might have upon them. It, therefore, seems appropriate that an educational dissertation be undertaken concentrating on Disney Production films, since as indicated by the foregoing, they are so universally viewed by American children.
Statement of the problem:
This study attempted to (1) analyze the five screenplays listed on page 6, (2) show two Disney films based on the screenplays analyzed to groups of children and administer a questionnaire to them. The investigator used the obtained data to determine (1) whether or not Walt Disney screenplays do stereotype the role of females and (2) if children and adults discern this stereotyping of the role of females when they see the films based on the screenplays analyzed.
NOTE: Page 351 of the manuscript was missing from both archival copies of the dissertation held within the University of the Pacific Library.
