Abstract

The De Gruyter Handbook of Media Psychology, edited by Drs. Rachel Bailey and Glenna Read, will present an overview of media psychology as a discipline and chapters exploring media psychology in the context of new communication technologies and research tools. Invited chapters, with a diverse roster of the pre-eminent and emerging scholars in the field will address leading ideas and debates in media psychology, persisting lines of inquiry and new areas of interest, and discuss the most innovative and groundbreaking tools used to investigate these questions. The proposed handbook, divided into seven sections, will be an essential read for graduate students and scholars researching media psychology. The first section will provide a general definition of media psychology, a brief history of its development as a field, and a discussion of paradigms past, current, and emerging. This section will conceptualize media psychology in the context of a dynamic systems approach that will define the overall Handbook’s organization. The next several sections describe work within what might be characterized as subsystems within that overall dynamic systems view of media psychology, including Audiences, Messages, Content, Media, and Contexts. The aim of these sections is to present updated reviews of well-researched areas within each subsystem but also present cutting-edge avenues of research. These sections will provide essential references for media psychologists to adapt to a rapidly changing media landscape. Each chapter will be developed as an up-to-date overview of the most pertinent research with an emphasis on prominent media psychology theories at different levels of analysis.
