Abstract

Garth Jowett discusses the Payne Fund Studies, which were a series of studies conducted to examine the effects of motion pictures on American Youth. The author examines how the “Payne Fund attempted to neutralize the potential conflicts which might have arisen once the studies were finally made public, and to minimize the impact of any potential backlash from the motion picture industry”. Conference paper; originally published in Western Reserve Studies Symposium (10th:1995 : Cleveland, Ohio)
