Psychological Processing of Media (S 22)
Media Studies and Production (MSP) 4446/8446, Psychological Processing of Media, is about how people process information from mass and personal media, including both traditional and emerging media. We're interested in what happens in people's minds and bodies before, after, and especially during, media use. A better understanding of these processes not only is interesting for its own sake but allows us to better understand and predict media uses and gratifications, the effects of media use on consumers, and the likely future characteristics of mediated experiences; it also suggests ways to design "better" media environments and experiences. After an introduction to some key ideas and phenomena we'll focus especially on a particular subset of those phenomena labelled telepresence (or presence for short), how and why they occur and their many implications.
