The Routledge Handbook of Media Use and Well-Being serves as the
first international review of the current state of this
fast-developing area of research. The volume provides a
multifaceted perspective on the beneficial as well as the
detrimental effects of media exposure on psychological health and
well-being. As a "first-mover," it will define the field of media
use and well-being and provide an essential resource for research
and teaching in this area. The volume is structured along four
central considerations: Processes presents concepts that provide a
theoretical bridge between media use and well-being, such as
psychological need satisfaction, recovery from stress and strain,
self-presentation and self-enhancement, or parasocial interactions
with media characters, providing a comprehensive understanding of
the underlying processes that drive psychological health and
well-being through media. Moderators examines both risk factors
that promote negative effects on well-being and protective factors
that foster positive media effects. Contexts bridges the gap
between theory and "real life" by illustrating how media use can
influence well-being and satisfaction in very different life
domains, covering the full spectrum of everyday life by addressing
the public, private, and work spheres. Audiences takes a look at
the influence of life phases and life situations on the interplay
of media use and well-being, questioning whether various user
groups differ with regard to the effects of media exposure.
Bringing together the expertise of outstanding international
scholars from multiple disciplines, including communication, media
psychology, social psychology, clinical psychology, and media
education, this handbook sheds new light on the role of media in
influencing and affecting emotions.
