Biological Pillar
Moana felt four senses throughout the film. She touched the water, the earth, and the air. She heard the songs and the ocean. She saw her culture, her people, beyond the reef, and so much more. She let her subconscious pride and courage carry her throughout the film, allowing her to be exposed to so many new experiences.
Cognition Pillar
In Moana, the older generation believes in the origin and prophecies of Te Fifi's Heart. The younger adults believe that the best thing to do is to stay on Motunui. The younger adults are in power, so they influence a lot of beliefs. Although the elders do not have as much authority, they also influence the younger generation's beliefs and remembrance of history and folk tales.
Life Span Development and Learning Pillar
The elder generation teaches the history, beliefs, and traditions of their culture on Motunui to the younger generation. The young adults are teaching and continuing traditions for the younger generations.
Social and Personality Pillar
Moana has a very rare mindset (almost extinct) compared to most of the younger generations on Motunui. Mainly because the most common mindset on Motunui has been taught by Tui, who has great power over the people. Moana does not conform to Tui's beliefs, and she continues to believe in what is true to her.
Mental and Physical Health
Moana is held back from doing the one thing she has dreamed of since she was little. Moana's grandma Tala gets very ill. This sudden event changes Moana's goals. Her "death wish" gives her the determination to fulfill her wishes. Those who were holding her back could no longer get in the way. She becomes stronger with each challenge she faces and continues to push through.
