Children and the Movies analyzes the first and most comprehensive study of the influence of movies on American youth, the Payne Fund Studies. First published in 1933, these studies--reproduced here in their entirety--are intrinsically important for their insights and conclusions regarding the effects of movies on behavior. They are, moreover, an important landmark of modern social science research, demonstrating the rapid evolution of this discipline in American academic institutions over the first three decades of the century.

Book by Jowett, Garth S., O'Donnell, Victoria J.

Since the publication of the first edition of Movies as Mass Communication in 1980, cinema has been incorporated into academic discussions of the mainstream mass media. Most introductory `media and society' courses now include a section on the cinema. In this second edition, Professors Jowett and Linton address both the persistent tendency to position the cinema as a separate form of entertainment with a specialized audience, and the extensive interrelationships between the cinema and other media. The authors also examine the economic, sociological, psychological and political aspects of film.

In this revised and expanded edition of the bestselling textbook, Jowett and O′Donnell examine the age-old art of propaganda and a related form of communication - persuasion - from a communication perspective. They present an overview of the history of propaganda, a review of the social scientific research on its effects, and an examination of its applications. New material included covers the Middle East conflict, the Cold War and glasnost, as well as propaganda as it relates to women.
