The Media Psychology Review

The Media Psychology Review is an academic online journal for Media Psychology.  The mission of the Media Psychology Research Center is to promote media psychology as an interdisciplinary and emerging field by bridging the research-practice gap and creating a platform that expands the frontiers of Media Psychology across traditional and emerging technologies to address real-world problems.

Scholarly materials do not always have to be in print. Because this is media psychology, we want to use digital media and web technologies. No longer bound by print traditions, we have made an interface that is more interactive and includes transmedia projects and presentations.

Through the submission and peer-review process, we select articles and presentations on research and applications that help expand the field. We publish on a rolling basis throughout the year and welcome submissions anytime.

We are excited by the breadth of topics, from virtual worlds to research theory, which reflects the range of media psychology. Our goal is to challenge traditional boundaries and silos. Technological innovations are changing the communications technology landscape faster than theory and methodologies can adapt. To keep up with the rapid integration of technology into daily life, scholars must be willing to challenge their own culture, methods, and perspectives. We hope to contribute to that journey.

This journal and site will be a work in progress as we work to understand and engage emerging technologies both as a topic of discussion and as a means of sharing information and experience. We welcome your suggestions and feedback. Like the interaction of media and human experience, we hope the dialogue will be frequent and ongoing.
