There is a problem with the lack of research between teen film consumption and personality. With the rise in streaming services over the years, we need to be diligent and find the affects of consuming that media. This is especially important when considering the impressionable minds of teens.

The linkage between personality and movie consumption could potentially open the door for altering personality through watching movies. If there are dangers to the unprecedented increase in streaming movies, they should be identified. This can be especially crucial with the teenage demographic, as teens have much more impressionable minds.

I believe that I will find a strong link between how often high school students watch movies and their type of personality, as well as the kinds of movies they watch and their personality. I believe that teens will be shaped by the movies they watch.

This research will be a mixed methodology, collecting qualitative and quantitative data. The data will be gathered through surveys sent out on social media.

Surveyed individuals will be asked to take the Big 5 Personality Test, utilizing truity.com,t
