Examining the Concept of Maladaptive Daydreaming Using Film Analysis Method

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the concept of maladaptive daydreaming, defined by Eli Somer, with the method of film analysis and to concretize it with case studies. Maladaptive daydreaming is defined as the daydreaming behaviors that prevent individuals from focusing on their job and academic studies and that negatively affect interpersonal social relations. In the study, the movie The Sleep Science was analyzed in terms of maladaptive daydreaming. In this study, document analysis method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used. Accordingly, some scenes of the film concerned were examined in terms of maladaptive daydreaming behaviors. On the other hand, it has been tried to reveal what kind of difficulties the maladaptive daydreamers experience in their daily lives by analyzing the sample scenes. Considering the experiences of Stephane, the protagonist of the film, it is clear that maladaptive daydreaming has negative effects on the lives of individuals. It is noteworthy that the concept of maladaptive daydreaming is a situation that may have a negative impact on individuals' well-being, mental activities, academic and social lives.
