Results revealed 84% of men in the first group believed the ABC documentary series had “triggered a change for the better.”
The study was a joint project between ABC, Heiress Films and the University of Melbourne and involved showing ABC series Man Up to one group of 354 men while the second control group was shown another documentary without masculine themes.
