The current study aims to analyse the effect of personality traits on the impact that different genres of movies have on an individual. The two genres being considered for this purpose are comedy and horror. The personality traits, as defined by Five-factor Model, will be measured using the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI), and the Profile of Mood States (POMS) will be used to measure the change in mood states caused by the video intervention (short film). The hypothesis for the current research states that individuals low on Emotional Stability and high on openness to experience are likely to have a more alleviated mood on watching the short film of horror genre; and individuals higher on extraversion and lower on neuroticism are likely to find the comedy short film to be more uplifting for their mood as compared to those with lower extraversion and higher neuroticism.
