Viewing images of alcohol use in PG-13-rated movies and alcohol initiation in Mexican-heritage youth.

Mexican American adolescents report high rates of alcohol consumption as well as media use. Viewing alcohol images in the media is associated with increased alcohol consumption; however, to date, this association has not been examined across different ethnic groups in the United States. To bridge this gap, we examined the association between viewing alcohol use images in PG-13-rated movies and alcohol initiation in Mexican-heritage adolescents. A cohort of 1,154 Mexican-heritage youth, average age 14 years, was followed for 2 years; in 2008-2009, participants reported alcohol use in the past 30 days and again in 2010-2011. Exposure to alcohol use images in PG-13-rated movies was estimated from 50 movies randomly selected from a pool of 250 of the top box office hits in the United States using previously validated methods. A series of generalized linear models, adjusting for age, gender, peer and family alcohol use, family functioning, anxiety, sensation-seeking tendency, and acculturation were completed. Multiple imputation was utilized to address missing data. Overall, N = 652 participants reported no alcohol use in 2008-2009; by 2010-2011, 33.6% (n = 219) had initiated alcohol use. Adjusted models indicated an independent association between exposure to alcohol use images in PG-13-rated movies and alcohol initiation (comparing quartiles 3 to 1: RR =1.53; 95% CI [1.11, 2.10]). The findings emphasize that the relationship between viewing alcohol use scenes in American films and alcohol initiation holds among Mexican-heritage adolescents and underscore the need to limit adolescents' exposure to such powerful images in PG-13-rated movies.

Exposure to Alcohol Use in Movies and Problematic Use of Alcohol: A Longitudinal Study Among Latin American Adolescents.

OBJECTIVE: This study assesses the association between exposure to alcohol in movies and alcohol use transitions among Latin American adolescents. METHOD: A school-based longitudinal study involving 33 secondary schools in Argentina and 57 in Mexico was performed. The baseline sample included 1,504 never drinker adolescents in Argentina and 5,264 in Mexico (mean age = 12.5 years), of whom 1,055 and 3,540, respectively, completed a follow-up survey a year and a half later. Exposure to the 500 popular contemporary films was assessed by querying adolescents on 50 randomly selected titles. Films were content-coded for alcohol and exposure estimated from films seen. Logistic regression models estimated adjusted relative risk (aRR) for the following outcomes, net covariates, at follow-up: use of alcohol (having ever drank), current drinking (drinking in the past 30 days), ever binge drinking (≥ 4 drinks [females] or 5 for males). RESULTS: At follow-up, respective adolescent drinking rates for Mexico and Argentina were 31% and 36% for use of alcohol, 18% and 27% for current drinking, and 8% and 19% for ever binge drinking. Greater exposure to alcohol in movies was independently associated with trying alcohol (aRR = 1.30, 95% CI [1.17, 1.43]), current drinking (aRR = 1.22, 95% CI [1.03, 1.44]), and binge drinking (aRR = 1.71, 95% CI [1.30, 2.25]) in Mexican adolescents, whereas in Argentina, movie alcohol exposure was associated only with trying alcohol (aRR = 1.25, 95% CI [1.02, 1.53]). CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to alcohol in movies predicted underage drinking transitions in these Latin American adolescents, replicating prior results for U.S. and European cohorts.

Autosabotaje en el amor: una trampa catastrófica. Análisis basado en los largometrajes Love y La vida de Adele / Self-sabotaje in love: a catastrophic trap. Analysis based on the films Love and Blue is in the warmest color

Este artículo presenta el resultado de las interpretaciones realizadas en el proyecto de investigación del curso de trabajo de grado cine y condición humana del programa de psicología de la Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, denominado Autosabotaje en el amor: una trampa catastrófica, análisis basado en los largometrajes Love y La vida de Adele, cuyo objetivo fue analizar los factores que inciden en el surgimiento del autosabotaje en el amor, por medio de los personajes de las películas La vida de Adele y Love. La investigación tuvo enfoque cualitativo de tipo hermenéutico - fenomenológico, donde se hizo un análisis de los personajes de los largometrajes mencionados, a la luz de teorías psicoanalíticas y filosóficas. Lo encontrado da cuenta de que el autosabotaje puede ser un mecanismo de defensa, que surge como vía de escape, ante una evidente desidealización del objeto amado, o un temor del sujeto autosaboteador de asumir la plenitud de su deseo.

This article presents the results of the interpretations made in the research project of the degree work, film and human condition of the psychology program of the Univer sidad Católica Luis Amigó, called: Self-sabotage in love: a catastrophic trap, analysis based on the feature films Love and Blue is the Warmest Colour, whose objective was to analyze the factors that affect the emergence of self-sabotage in love, through the characters in the movies Blue is the Warmest Colour and Love. The research had a qualitative hermeneutic-phenomenological approach, where characters were analyzed of the aforementioned films, in light of psychoanalytic and philosophical theories. The findings show that self-sabotage can be a defense mechanism, which emerges as a way of escape, in the face of evidence of deglamoring the beloved object, or a fear of the self-sabotage subject to assume the fullness of desire.

A ressignificação da velhice num cine-debate / The old-age significance in a cine-debate

Este artigo trata da relação entre o imaginário do cinema sobre a velhice e a vivência do envelhecimento num processo de cine-debate, no Distrito Federal. Objetiva-se a discussão da velhice em filmes contemporâneos e das representações sociais dos participantes. A metodologia do trabalho articula a pesquisa participante com a expressão construtivista de saberes a partir da apresentação e discussão de sete filmes em 2014 com aproximadamente 50 pessoas idosas, em média, por sessão. O projeto fundamentou-se na "construção do espectador emancipado" (RANCIÈRE, 2008) e na ressignificação da velhice. Os temas relevantes (BARDIN, 2008) evidenciados a posteriori, a partir expressões dos participantes, foram: a família é fundamental; a felicidade pode existir no entardecer da vida; a velhice é continuidade da vida; a experiência do cine-debate propicia trocas e amizades e; é preciso ter um projeto de vida. Os temas repercutem as histórias apresentadas, mas vão além da representação imediata da velhice, pois se ancoram na família, na amizade e nos projetos de vida. (AU)

This article deals with the relation between the imaginary of the cinema on the old age and the experience of the aging in a process of cinema-debate, in the Federal District. Its objective is the discussion of old age in contemporary films and the social representations of the participants. The methodology articulates the participant research with the constructivist expression of knowledge from the presentation and discussion of seven films in 2014 with approximately 90 elderly people per session. The project was based on the "construction of the emancipated spectator" (RANCIÈRE, 2008) and the resignification of old age. The relevant themes (BARDIN, 2008), evidenced a posteriori, from the expressions of the participants were: the family is fundamental; happiness can exist in the evening of life; old age is the continuity of life; the experience of cinema-debate promotes exchanges and friendships; you have to have a life project. The themes reverberate the stories presented, but go beyond the immediate representation of old age, because they anchor in the family, the friendship and the projects of life. (AU)

Time trends for tobacco and alcohol use in youth-rated films popular in Mexico and Argentina, from 2004-2012.

OBJECTIVE:: To examine and compare overall prevalence and time trends in tobacco and alcohol portrayals and brand appearances in youth-rated US and nationally-produced films that were the most successful in Argentina and Mexico from 2004-2012. MATERIALS AND METHODS:: Top-grossing nationally produced films from Argentina (n=73), Mexico (n=85) and the US (n=643) were content analyzed. Logistic regression was used to determine differences between Mexican, Argentine and US produced films. Linear regression models assessed significant cross-country differences in the mean number of tobacco and alcohol seconds. RESULTS:: Films from Mexico and Argentina were more likely than US films to contain tobacco, (OR=4.2; p<0.001) and (OR=7.2; p<0.001). Alcohol was present in 93% of Argentine, 83% in Mexican and 83% US films. CONCLUSIONS:: Smoking and alcohol were highly prevalent in nationally produced films. They may have a significant impact and should be targeted by policies to reduce youth exposure to portrayals of risk behaviors.

Substance use and misuse in Brazilian movies (2000-2008).

Considering the absence of data on the appearance of drugs other than alcohol and tobacco in movie scenes, we decided to study the prevalence of portrayal of illicit drug use in a convenience sample of 50 Brazilian Movies. A total of 192 scenes (12h49'03(″)) meeting the inclusion criteria were identified and assessed in a structured manner. Despite several limitations regarding the nature of this comparison, we found that scenes show substance use and misuse almost similar to that in the general population, mainly alcohol (especially among people of low socioeconomic status), cannabis and inhalants. Main differences were found in cocaine and tranquilizers (over- and underexposure in movies, respectively).

Screen time in Mexican children: findings from the 2012 National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT 2012).

OBJECTIVE: To provide descriptive information on the screen time levels of Mexican children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 5 660 children aged 10-18 years from the 2012 National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT 2012) were studied. Screen time (watching television, movies, playing video games and using a computer) was self-reported. RESULTS: On average, children engaged in 3 hours/day of screen time, irrespective of gender and age. Screen time was higher in obese children, children from the northern and Federal District regions of the country, children living in urban areas, and children in the highest socioeconomic status and education categories. Approximately 33% of 10-14 year olds and 36% of 15-18 year olds met the screen time guideline of ≤ 2 hours/day. CONCLUSIONS: 10-18 year old Mexican children accumulate an average of 3 hours/day of screen time. Two thirds of Mexican children exceed the recommended maximal level of time for this activity.
