Summary:	"Here we are looking at how psychological theory can help us understand a common behavior, going to the movies. We investigate what psychologists have discovered about how we choose a movie, how we process the sounds and images of movies, and how movies may influence our behaviors after we leave the theater or turn off the screen"--

Description
Summary:	How do we choose what movies to go see? How do we process the sounds and images of those films? How do they influence our behaviors, attitudes and beliefs after we leave the theater? Using psychology theory, this book answers these questions while considering the effects of relatively permanent personality variables, our changeable moods and the people we are with in such scenarios. It also points out areas of the study in which further work is necessary and where new concepts, such as awe and aesthetic pleasure, may further understanding.
