This is a graduate research paper on the same topic as mine. It has a lot of sources which helps move her paper along. I like how she goes into each era’s body image, gender roles, and what love means in the movies for some princesses. Besides breaking it down by era, it also goes into certain princesses and how the movie shows these effects.
Dundes, Lauren, and Madeline Streiff. “Reel Royal Diversity? the Glass Ceiling in Disney’s Mulan and Princess and the Frog.” Societies, vol. 6, no. 4, 2016, p. 35., https://doi.org/10.3390/soc6040035.
This essay goes into the reason why Mulan and Princess and the frog are the least popular Disney princess in the market. They bring in the least amount of money. Yet this is not why I picked it. It is more because the essay explains what is wrong with these princesses. Although the princesses are part of Disney’s new diverse, they keep the social stereotype. Which is what I am going to take. For example, although Tiana is the first Black princess, she is still part of the working class who wants a restaurant. Unlike her white princess counterpart.
Coyne, Sarah M., et al. “Pretty as a Princess: Longitudinal Effects of Engagement With Disney Princesses on Gender Stereotypes, Body Esteem, and Prosocial Behavior in Children.” Child Development, vol. 87, no. 6, 2016, pp. 1909–25, https://doi.org/10.1111/cdev.12569.
Sarah Coyne started research on the Princess culture to see the effects it has on young children’s minds. She exposes the children to Disney princesses to see how it affects their way of life. Then years later she does the study again with the same children. The research included both boys and girls.

These are other sources explaining what they think of the princess effect. It has similar notes as Rachel, but it does add cultural identity. Also gives a small explanation of nine different princess stereotypes.
