We are excited to add a blog to the Media Psychology Research Center (MPR) website. The MPR is an independent, not-for-profit research organization that is a collaboration of researchers and award-winning media developers. As you can see from our home page, we are located in the Boston Children’s Museum Building on Children’s Wharf in Boston.

With this blog, we hope to expand the conversation about Media Psychology. Media psychology for us, as our tag line suggests, is an intersection between human experience and media. The proliferation of old and new media forms and advances in technology means that ideas and innovations at this nexus will come from many disciplines. We want to bridge the gaps among academic disciplines, research, and applications to spark the creativity and innovation that can put the power of media to work for positive change.

We welcome your thoughts!
