A Qualitative Study on the Emotional Healing Efficacy of Movies for Undergraduates Suffering Breakups

Abstract

Breakups with significant others are among the main reasons for emotional disturbance problems in Taiwanese undergraduates. Most undergraduates lack emotional regulation; therefore, their negative emotions can easily accumulate, influencing their mental health. Exacerbating these effects, the accumulation of negative emotions can lead to social problems. Therefore, helping undergraduates appropriately cope with negative emotions generated by breakups is a topic worth exploring. 1 國立臺灣大學圖書資訊學系 Department of Library and Information Science, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan 2 中華民國文化部文化交流司 Department of Cultural Exchange, Ministry of Culture, New Taipei, Taiwan * 通訊作者Corresponding Author: 陳書梅Chen Su-may Sheih, E-mail: synn@ntu.edu.tw 預刊稿
