A common theme portrayed in Disney fairytales is a princess or "a damsel in distress" being saved by her "knight in shining armor," and the two living "happily ever after." Because fairytales are considered to be "models of behaviour" (Gruss, 2009, p. 195), critics have objected to this theme, as it perpetuates traditional gender roles and encourages unrealistic romantic beliefs. This study sought to determine whether Disney fairytales are connected with the gender roles that women assume and the romantic beliefs they adopt. A survey was conducted through which participants endorsed the Disney princess with which they identified the most, took the BEM Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) to assess their assumed gender role, and took the Romantic Beliefs Scale (ROMBEL) to assess their level of romanticism. A preliminary analysis, which compared the level of femininity of the princess identified, one's assumed gender role, and one's romantic beliefs, did not yield any significant correlations. However, because there were concerns regarding the validity of the coding system that was utilized to determine the level of femininity of the princess identified, a secondary analysis was conducted. In the secondary analysis, the level of femininity of each princess was determined based on the time period the film was released, and positive correlations between the level of femininity of the princess identified and one's assumed gender role and romantic beliefs were revealed. However, because the specific age of the participants was not collected, it is unclear whether these correlations are reflective of generational differences in values or the Disney fairytales. Despite the inconclusive results of the study, there is evidence to suggest that Disney fairytales are influencing viewers in a negative manner, so suggestions for utilizing fairytales for empowerment are outlined.
