Book Media Effects and Beyond

Download or read book Media Effects and Beyond written by Karl Erik Rosengren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-09-27 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing a multitude of questions and issues surrounding how we use the media, Media Effects and Beyond represents the results of an international research programme into the use and effects of television, video and music. Seeing the viewer not simply as passive object but as a very active subject, the contributors engage with every aspect of children's, adolescents' and families' use of the media - its character, causes and consequences. Topics explored include media and social mobility; family commumication, and consumer lifestyles. Confronting the two traditions of lifestyle research and effects research, Media Effects and Beyond offers a much-needed reconceptualization of both. Written at a time when traditional European public service media systems struggle against a tidal wave of commercial electronic media, this book will be important reading for students of contemporary culture and communications, as well as media policy for decision makers.

Book Media and Social Life

Download or read book Media and Social Life written by Mary Beth Oliver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our use of media touches on almost all aspects of our social lives, be they friendships, parent-child relationships, emotional lives, or social stereotypes. How we understand ourselves and others is now largely dependent on how we perceive ourselves and others in media, how we interact with one another through mediated channels, and how we share, construct, and understand social issues via our mediated lives. This volume highlights cutting edge scholarship from preeminent scholars in media psychology that examines how media intersect with our social lives in three broad areas: media and the self; media and relationships; and social life in emerging media. The scholars in this volume not only provide insightful and up-to-date examinations of theorizing and research that informs our current understanding of the role of media in our social lives, but they also detail provocative and valuable roadmaps that will form that basis of future scholarship in this crucially important and rapidly evolving media landscape.

Book Socialization of children and adolescents through media  Influence on identity and self image

Download or read book Socialization of children and adolescents through media Influence on identity and self image written by Laura Römer and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Pedagogy - Media Pedagogy, grade: 2,7, University of Duisburg-Essen, language: English, abstract: How do media affect the identity and self-image of six to eighteen-year-olds? The goal of this study is to determine whether the Internet and television have an influence on children and adolescents as a means of socialization. "Today, socialization is no longer conceivable without media; it takes place under the sign of an active subject who deals with the media from an early age, uses them purposefully and makes use of them to shape his everyday life, to examine, expand, revise the value and norm structure of his social environment, his personality and life concepts." This statement exemplifies the (ever-increasing) role of media in socialization. Particularly noteworthy here is the Internet, which offers many opportunities for self-expression in addition to research and communication. In addition to the Internet, television is an important medium for humanity and thus also for this study. Often the media use by children and young people is judged critically by scientists. For example, media would have a negative influence on development and are manipulative. However, socialization research hardly deals with the increasing importance of media. Dagmar Hoffmann sees the reason for this neglect in the fact that socialization research is of the opinion that there is no reciprocal relationship between people and the media and that media can therefore not be counted as a socialization instance.

Book Self Versus Others

Download or read book Self Versus Others written by Julie L. Andsager and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-03-04 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self Versus Others explores the third-person effect and its role in media as a means of persuasion. This scholarly work synthesizes more than two decades of research on the third-person effect, the process in which individuals do not perceive themselves to be impacted by particular messages—such as persuaded to engage in risky behaviors or encouraged to be violent—but they believe others will be. Authors Julie L. Andsager and H. Allen White focus their analysis specifically on the role of media and media messages, and assert that the third-person effect functions as a means of persuasion. They explore the underlying concepts and connections this effect shares with established theories of persuasion and mediated communication. The only volume to date focusing on the topic, Self Versus Others demonstrates the significant impact persuasion has on public opinion, behavior, and policy. As such, understanding the means through which persuasion can be accomplished thereby provides a powerful tool. Timely and succinct, this book: *provides thorough synthesis of third-person effect literature; *argues that systematic versus heuristic processing underlies third-person perceptions; and *conceptually links third-person effects with co-orientation. Intended for communication scholars with an interest in persuasion, as well as those in key areas including mass communication, health communication, and political communication, this book is also appropriate for advanced courses in persuasion, communication theory, and campaigns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much discussion in recent years has centred on the status of the self, identity and subjectivity in the light of powerful arguments about the social origins of personhood. The Social Self presents many dimensions of the debate, spanning psychology, philosophy, politics and feminist theory, and provides a critical overview of the key themes involved. The internationally renowned contributors examine the senses in which we are `social selves' whose very identities are intimately bound up with the communities and cultures in which we live. Drawing on Wittgenstein, Marx, Foucault, Bakhtin, Gilligan and MacIntyre, among others, the chapters show the diversity of influences that have shaped this exciting and controversial

Book Exploring the impact of social media on individuals  self esteem and body image

Download or read book Exploring the impact of social media on individuals self esteem and body image written by Hanna Belhorodska and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-08-30 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2023 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: C, Paedagogic Institute for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy Hannover, language: English, abstract: Social media offers a plethora of opportunities for individuals to share their thoughts, experiences, and interests with a global audience, blurring the lines between personal and public spheres. Users can post photos, videos, status updates, and engage in real-time conversations, facilitating instant communication and fostering virtual communities. Beyond personal interactions, social media has also emerged as a powerful platform for businesses, influencers, and organizations to reach their target audiences, influencing consumer behaviors and shaping societal trends. The allure of social media lies in its promise of connectivity and belongingness, allowing users to form and maintain social relationships regardless of physical proximity. However, the pervasive nature of these platforms and the constant exposure to a stream of curated content have raised concerns about their potential impact on individuals' psychological well-being. In light of these concerns, researchers and mental health professionals have sought to understand the intricate relationship between social media usage and individuals' psychological well-being, particularly concerning self-esteem and body image. By investigating the potential effects of social media on these aspects, researchers aim to unveil the complexities of virtual interactions and their implications for mental health. This research paper aims to explore the impact of social media on individuals' self-esteem and body image, with a focus on understanding how these platforms influence self-perception, body satisfaction, and overall psychological well-being. By shedding light on this critical area of study, this research intends to provide valuable insights for individuals, parents, educators, mental health practitioners, social media platforms, and policymakers, guiding the development of strategies to promote a healthier and more positive online environment.

Book The Psychology of Social Networking Vol 1

Download or read book The Psychology of Social Networking Vol 1 written by Giuseppe Riva and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a novel approach to consider the available literature and research, this book focuses on the psychology of social media based on the assumption that the experience of being in a social media has an impact on both our identity and social relationships. In order to ‘be online’, an individual has to create an online presence – they have to share information about themselves online. This online self is presented in different ways, with diverse goals and aims in order to engage in different social media activities and to achieve desired outcomes. Whilst this may not be a real physical presence, that physicality is becoming increasingly replicated through photos, video, and ever-evolving ways of defining and describing the self online. Moreover, individuals are using both PC-based and mobile-based social media as well as increasingly making use of photo and video editing tools to carefully craft and manipulate their online self. This book therefore explores current debates in Cyberpsychology, drawing on the most up-to-date theories and research to explore four main aspects of the social media experience (communication, identity, presence and relationships). In doing so, it considers the interplay of different areas of psychological research with current technological and security insight into how individuals create, manipulate and maintain their online identity and relationships. The social media are therefore at the core of every chapter, with the common thread throughout being the very unique approach to considering diverse and varied online behaviours that may not have been thus far considered from this perspective. It covers a broad range of both positive and negative behaviours that have now become integrated into the daily lives of many westernised country’s Internet users, giving it an appeal to both scholarly and industry readers alike.
