Week 2
Hello Everyone!
I began my data collection over the past week and I met with my mentor on Tuesday to discuss my roles in the organization and how to introduce and inform people about the prevalence of toxic behaviors in films and media in general.
As for my data collection, I watched two movies, Dil Dhadakne Do and Rocky Aur Rani Kim Prem Kahaani. Dil Dhadakne Do is not a part of my original movie list as it does not fit the criteria for my movie selection. However, I wanted to watch a movie as a trial run to see if my scales and methods were able to be executed, which is why I chose a movie that was not on my list. Through this trial run, I was able to pick up on some design flaws in my scale and add a ninth behavior to my toxic behavioral scale. One thing I wanted to note is that I am going to be watching the movies out of chronological order to eliminate any bias I may have of finding a trend in the movie behaviors.
Later last week, I watched the first movie on my list, Rocky Aur Rani Kim Prem Kahaani, which was released in 2023. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie with its catchy songs and fairly progressive storyline. The movie was very progressive with its portrayal of gender roles and the main couple of the movie had a healthy relationship. However, the most prevalent toxic behavior was cheating, and this was seen in the elderly couple in the movie.
Thank you for reading!
