THE RESEARCH

We conducted a series of face-to-face interviews to 8 girls form 7-11 years old at a Mexican elementary school (interviews were conducted in spanish).

The questions asked are listed below:

1. Which Disney princess movie(s) do you identify with the most and why?

2. What did that movie (or any other Disney movie) teach you about what it takes to become a woman?

3. What did that movie (or any other Disney movie) teach you about family?

4. Which do you think are the best skills of your favorite princess? Why do you think she is important in the movie?

5. Why do you think princesses are so important in Disney movies?
