Lenka Štěpánková and Zuzana Masopustová debated about the film Inside out 2

Psychology students organized a screening of the movie Inside out 2 at the Kino Art cinema on October 21.This movie deals with various psychological topics, such as how emotions affect us, in a way that is understandable even for younger viewers. The screening was followed by a discussion with our member Lenka Štěpánková and Zuzana Masopustová from the Department of Psychology of the Faculty of Social Sciences about the psychological themes that appeared in the movie. The event was open to the public, but most of the audience consisted of psychology students who had many interesting questions for the guests.

Lenka Štěpánková provided insight from the perspective of cognitive psychology and psychology of emotions, and most of the questions were directed at how well and accurately anxiety was portrayed in the movie. Zuzana Masopustová, on the other hand, provided a view from developmental psychology, for example how well the changes in puberty were portrayed in the film. However, both guests agreed that the movie serves as a very good depiction of how emotions affect us. They see this depiction as both accurate but also presented in a form that both children and their parents can learn from.
