Abstract
The purpose of this study is to verify influences of a cinema psychotherapy class containing a discussion on improving the emotional intelligence and empathic ability of university students. The research subjects were divided into a test group and a control group, with 106 students in each group. For a semester, the test group attended a practice-centered course including cinema psychotherapy, while the control group attended a discussion on personality psychology theory. The test group was shown 6 films in 12 weeks and answered structural questions between the researcher and subjects, and nonstructural questions between subjects. The results were as follows: The test group showed significant increases in self and other emotion appraisals in the emotional intelligence field. On the other hand, there was no significant change in emotional intelligence among the control group. With respect to empathic ability, the test group showed a significant increase in cognitive empathy, perspective taking, fantasy, and emphatic concern, while the control group didn't show significant change in empathic ability. In post-test, the test group demonstrated a significantly higher ability in cognitive empathy and perspective taking compared to the control group. This study verified that an interactive cinema psychotherapy class can increase emotional intelligence and emphatic ability. This study also demonstrated the effectiveness and necessity of a cinema psychotherapy class. As the class improves, more factors of emotional intelligence and empathic ability can be addressed.
