Book Presentation:
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.

About the authors:
Ashton D. Trice is a professor of psychology at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
Hunter W. Greer is currently a resident in counseling, pursuing his LPC, in Richmond Virginia.
