Issues involving media psychology are universal: Why do we find a film exciting? What influence does music have on our feelings? Do computer games featuring violence make people aggressive? Research in media psychology offers answers to these and many other questions. The most important findings are presented in this volume in a concise and comprehensible way. Each chapter provides an overview of definitions and theories, including up-to-date studies and example applications. Central topics include the selection, reception and effect of media, as well as media competence, computer-mediated communication and career prospects. In compact form, the volume thus offers a solid understanding of the psychological aspects of media usage.
