Sociological Aspects of the Cinema

Abstract

THE sociological and psychological importance of the film was under review in four papers at the first meeting of the Psychology Section of the British Association at Dundee on August 31. The discussion ranged from the film tastes of the adult to the uses that could be made of the film in the classroom, and in this connexion the question was raised whether sufficient attention is being given to the possible uses of the cinema apart from entertainment.
