Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Stress is a pervasive issue in modern society, affecting individuals’ physical and mental health. Comedy films have emerged as a therapeutic medium, providing a temporary escape and reducing stress levels through laughter. Studies show that laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, which improve mood and reduce tension (Aliyu & Musa, 2023). In Wamakko Local Government Area, Sokoto State, where economic and social challenges contribute to heightened stress levels, comedy films serve as a vital source of relief and emotional well-being (Yusuf & Ibrahim, 2024). The growing popularity of comedy films underscores their significance in promoting mental health, making it essential to explore their influence on stress reduction.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of comedy films in alleviating stress, there is limited empirical evidence on their effectiveness in rural and semi-urban communities like Wamakko. Many residents face barriers such as limited access to recreational activities, leaving them vulnerable to the adverse effects of chronic stress. This study addresses the gap by examining the role of comedy films in stress management, particularly in areas with minimal mental health resources (Garba, 2023).
