Abstract

During the last year, the one of COVID-19 pandemic, the lives of many people have changed in many ways, one of them is media consumption. We wanted to verify whether “stay at home” recommendations influenced viewers’ preferences concerning films, their watching habits, motivation to choose a specific film and how media use is related to some psychological variables, mainly a sense of loneliness, self-esteem and pandemic psychological resilience. Results of the online survey showed that participants watch more films or series during the pandemic than before and that they prefer various genres. They more often use streaming platforms and go to the cinema less frequently compared to the period before the pandemic. Participants watch films more for both entertainment and as a way to get away from everyday reality than before. Cast, film topic and recommendations became less important when choosing a film. There was also found a weak, however significant correlation between describing oneself as a fan of a specific film genre and the pandemic psychological resilience. Results show that the pandemic psychological resilience is moderately, negatively related to loneliness. A positive, however weak, relation of pandemic psychological resilience to self-esteem was also found.

疫情中的电影偏好：心理韧性还是逃离疫情现实？

在去年新冠肺炎大流行期间，许多人的生活发生了许多变化，其中之一就是媒体消费。我们想验证“待在家里”的建议是否影响了观众对电影的偏好、他们的观看习惯、选择特定电影的动机，以及媒体使用如何与一些心理变量相关，主要是孤独感、自尊和流行病心理复原力。在线调查结果显示，参与者在疫情期间观看的电影或连续剧比以前多，他们更喜欢各种类型的电影。与疫情前相比，他们更经常使用流媒体平台，去电影院的频率更低。与以前相比，参与者看电影更多的是为了娱乐，也是为了摆脱日常现实。在选择电影时，演员阵容、电影主题和推荐变得不那么重要了。研究还发现，将自己描述为特定电影类型的粉丝与疫情心理韧性之间存在微弱但显著的相关性。结果表明，疫情心理韧性与孤独感呈中度负相关。研究还发现，疫情心理韧性与自尊之间存在着积极的关系，尽管这种关系很弱。
