Films continue to be a popular form of entertainment among children. The objective of this study was to determine the most common themes found in the top-grossing films released from 2005 to 2015. Forty-five films were independently viewed and analyzed by 5 reviewers. The most common positive themes were "importance of helping others," "working as a team," and "standing up for what you believe in" (5.71, 4.08, and 3.78 mean events per hour, respectively). The most common negative themes were "use of guns/knives/lethal weapons," "acts of violence/fighting," and "demonstrating excessive anger" (5.78, 5.64, and 3.09 mean events per hour, respectively). In conclusion, the most common positive themes in our sample were associated with service, collaboration, and courage, and the most common negative themes were associated with violence. We encourage co-viewing and active mediation, focusing on the positive and negative themes found in film, as a method to guide children through their development process.
电影仍然是孩子们喜爱的一种娱乐形式。本研究的目的是确定2005年至2015年上映的票房最高的电影中最常见的主题。5名评审员独立观看并分析了45部电影。最常见的积极主题是“帮助他人的重要性”、“团队合作”和“坚持自己的信念”（每小时平均出现次数分别为5.71、4.08和3.78）。最常见的消极主题是“使用枪支/刀具/致命武器”、“暴力行为/打斗”和“表现出过度愤怒”（每小时平均出现次数分别为5.78、5.64和3.09）。总之，我们样本中最常见的积极主题与服务、合作和勇气相关，最常见的消极主题与暴力相关。我们鼓励共同观看并进行积极调解，关注电影中发现的积极和消极主题，以此作为引导儿童成长过程的一种方法。
