It is indisputable that media is by far the most common means by
which human beings spend our free time in the modern world.
However, the ubiquity of media in our lives brings with it
advantages and disadvantages along with uncertainty: will increased
dependence on media impair our social functioning, enhance it, or
both? The Oxford Handbook of Media Psychology explores facets of
human behavior, thoughts, and feelings experienced in the context
of media use and creation. Divided into six sections, chapters in
this volume trace the history of media psychology; address content
areas for media research, including children's media use, media
violence and desensitization, sexual content, video game violence,
and portrayals of race and gender; and cover psychological and
physical effects of media such as serious games, games for health,
technology addictions, and video games and attention. A section on
meta-issues in media psychology brings together transportation
theory, media psychophysiology, social influence in virtual worlds,
and learning through persuasion. Other topics include the politics
of media psychology, a lively debate about the future of media
psychology methods, and the challenges and opportunities present in
this interdisciplinary field. Authored by top experts from
psychology, communications, and related fields, this handbook
presents a vibrant map of the field of media psychology.
