Media Psychology - Science topic

Thank you!

Hi Taylor,

I'm interested in your proposal. However, I'd like some details to better understand your necessities.

I am currently a Postdoc researcher in Psychology of Music, and my PhD research was on a very similar theme; you may check my publications.

Please feel free to contact me :)

All the best,

Alessandro

Hi this might of some use to yourself it's Just a PDF format

Hi,

Each series has " n" number of episodes....4 series A B C D,

Assessment is at the end of the series? If that is so then compare the outcome variable i.e children learn about people of other nations among A B C D using ANOVA.Comparing arithmetic means

Harmonic mean is basically to find the average rate of change example speed of carrying a task. Here exposure time is considered?

the document (preprint) introduces core competencies for media psychology filed (for HEIs, graduate level). please share your comments and suggestions about the document. the full version of the study will be released soon

find your information

Sorry for the late reply - you've missed the 2017 conference but there is always the 2018 Critical Realism conference in Norway. It is a gathering of researchers who use the philosophical framework of Critical Realism as advocated by several academics. The late Roy Bhaskar being a prominent exponent of critical realism. Just google him.

More welcome Dear Dr. Gloria

Not at all Bonnie, Rgds

First try using the standard methods to limit cheating (question pools, timers, presenting the questions one at a time, limiting feedback, randomizing questions, using as many subjective questions as possible, etc.) Grijalva, T., Nowell, C., & Kerkvliet, J. (2006). Academic honesty and online courses. College Student Journal, 40(1), 180-185.  Sadly, I'm afraid that we might assume it is more prevalent than we would hope.  Stuber-McEwen, D., Wiseley, P., & Hoggatt, S. (2009). Point, click, and cheat: Frequency and type of academic dishonesty in the virtual classroom. Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration, 12(3), 1-10.

Dear Lucas,

I was in a previous job working in inmersives technologies in Polytechnical University from Valencia. 

One of my colleagues made the doctoral exposition in inmerives with flat childrens.

You can look for them. It's called Jaime Guixeres. If you don't find it, I can send you the way to vcontact.

Hoping this information will be interesting for you

it depends on your design of research and the information scales 

Thanks!

Not directly related but the following papers might be of use for sexual attractiveness and advertising.  Good luck in what sounds like a really interesting study - I would be interested in reading the results!

Dear Natalia, maybe you already undertook a Google Scholar search? Irrespective, I include two links to brief searches with some of your keywords. This sounds like an interesting field!

Hello, Claus,

I have heard from the Writers' Guild West Foundation Library.  They offer library assistance. Jacqueline Lemmon-- JLemmon@wga.org

Link to WG Library search page:

I could get many manuscripts by hitting SEARCH at their web site.  The best might be to pick screen writers of interest and gain some photo copies of their scripts.  You can simply look at these yourself to see how these writers  integrated songs, perhaps seeing changes or marginalia.  Any academic would only be judging what you can judge firsthand.  Create your own theory...

I hope this helps...?

Hello.

I am currently studying the Digital self-representation. Trying to correlate it with Satisfaction. 

1. My first experiment hypothesises that people who have a Social Media page (Facebook) and people who don´t have different levels of Satisfaction in life.

2. Looking for instruments that can measure the valênce of Digital Self-Representation (Positive or Negative).

If know of any articles or instruments that might help me research, contact me at mariotvars@gmail.com

I would suggest Petty & Cacioppo's (1981) studies on attitude persistence and peripheral route to persuasion. In general, the theory states that for a message to be persuasive, you must first be paying attention to it in some capacity. However, the extent to which you’re paying attention makes a big difference. That is, are you thoughtlessly paying attention to the message? Or are you carefully scrutinizing it? Depending on the answer, different components of the message will be more or less persuasive.A low-thinking, cue-based type of persuasion is called the peripheral route to persuasion. It relies on automatic mental triggers to convince us. Most frequently, marketers employ this kind of persuasion, using tricks like celebrity advocacy or claiming that “millions have bought this product!” 

Thanks!

You would get more answers to this question on the slicer-users mailing list, but I can describe a few reasons here:

1. For researchers, it is much easier to get permission to use 3D Slicer on patients through institutional review board (IRB) approval.

2. Most companies already have their own custom FDA-approved software applications and they keep improving that instead of start using 3D Slicer as the basis of their product. It is partly due to historical reasons (3D Slicer has become so robust and powerful only in the last couple of years) and there is a misconception that 3D Slicer is "big" (while actually it is not big at all - VTK, a toolkit that is used by 3D Slicer and many FDA-approved clinical applications, is about 10x larger than 3D Slicer core)

It would be helpful to get FDA approval for certain uses of 3D Slicer, as it would make it easier for researchers to get IRB approval for using 3D Slicer in higher-risk use cases, and for companies to get FDA approval for using 3D Slicer in their products. Therefore, there is an ongoing effort to get grant funding for FDA submission preparation for 3D Slicer.

Freud plus media's uses and gratifications theory , cognitive leaning theory will form the theoretical framework. 

If you are referring to Youtube messages per se then yes; once you use semiotics as your principle for analysis, you can basically analyse any media transmitted message from that perspective, regardless of the media outlet (whether TV or Youtube as in your case). 

' Ideas of reference' is amongst the primary `first rank `symptoms that are assessed and explored during a psychiatric assessment.

Writing for eye means the written words that you can read with your eyes. Writing for the ears emphasizes the spoken words. Before, writing for the eyes was the main source of public relations. People would share news through newspaper and journals and such. That was how the message was portrayed and in many writing classes I have taken, it was focused on writing for the readers or the public. However, since this generation has advanced technology that wasn't present before, writing for the ear has become more relevant. People watch videos, listen to oral presentations, and listen to radios; these require different writing styles then typically writing for the eye. Writing for the ear, or listener, is a lot more engagement with the listeners. The writing for the ear is suppose to go straight to the point. While detail is important, the audience doesn't want to listen to you drone on about a certain matter, they want you to tell them the key points to your speech. However, in writing for the eye, the reader can read articles, emails, etc. that have long sentences with many syllables and such. That is the purpose of writing for the eye; to give a full explanation that can be reread if something is not understood and can be put away for later on. However with writing for the ear, the ear can not rewind what was said, especially when they are listening to an oral presentation. When you talk to people, you don't speak as if you are reading to them. You talk to them in shorter sentences but it gets out what you want to share with them.

Hi,

Maybe this paper could help:

Which methodology you want to use depends entirely on your approach. If you want to analyse the content and ideology behind the film, there is plenty of examples about that, such as:

Ayres, Brenda (Ed.) (2013). The emperor's Old Groove. Decolonizing Disney's Magic Kingdom. New York: Peter Lang Publishing.

Davis, Amy M. (2006). Good girls and wicked witches: Women in Disney's feature animation. 
Eastleigh: John Libbey.

If your interest are the visuals:

Allan, Robin (1999). Walt Disney and Europe: European influences of the animated feature films of Walt Disney. Indiana: Indiana University Press. Bloomington and Indianapolis.

And if it's the music what you're interested of:

Care, Ross B. “Threads of Melody: They Evolution of a Major Film Score – Walt Disney’s Bambi”. The Quarterly Journal of the Library of Congress, vol 40, num. 2, 1983, pp. 76-98.

Good luck!

Hi Emily,

I recommend you to consult Katharine Charsley’s work on Pakistani arranged transnational marriages and migration-related migration in the UK.

The following book, edited by Ralph Grillo, might also be useful:

The Family in Question. Immigrant and Ethnic Minorities in Multicultural Europe:

Best,

Dan

the question is a bit broad. it might make sense to narrow your scope down a bit. For example, you could pick one newspaper from, say, the US and one from India. And then, you could search for articles that use the term "arranged marriage". then you could read those articles, say, ten from each paper over a year or two (or three). And you could write what you found. This way you could answer the question a little better than just writing down generalizations. if you know how to do a content analysis, you can get even more specific, but for a general report, just reading and writing down your observations would be interesting. 

Media write about this because it sells. Sex, violence, (perceived) oddities sell. And therefore it's exploited. That is probably the most basic answer one can give: capitalism.

The why is probably not found in the media but in the audience, why are people interested in this type of entertainment? People don't agree, understand or believe what they see, which makes them curioous. Also if people are indeed hedonistic thrillseekers, they might also watch such entertainment because they can relate to the person they see on their screen.

Like I said there are multiple theories on the matter why people find enjoyment in certain media, but you pretty much have to look into media studies and social psychology, perhaps communications.

One final note: reality TV like talking with inmates is considered reality TV but the truth is that reality doesn't sell. People watch TV to escape reality (escapism) so the image of reality that is created is in truth a very small percentage of people that are considered on the boundary of outside social conventions. So although these people excist, it's not 'reality' since it's still outside of that social convention. So in this sense, the media might be changing the social norm, making the previously unaccepted social behavior very much acceptable now. Whether or not that is dangerous is not up to me to answer.

Hi Alan,

Just joined... hello! Weird place eh? 

I'd like to think that you are already familiar with the work of Dana Boyd (http://www.danah.org/). Some relevant publications of hers include:

I'd also check out her new book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0300166311/apophenia-20

Interesting slide presentation about Social Media psychology

Oh yes, very good argumentation.

For study, we can ask for which languages are used in a determinate social media and with which proportion. 10%, 25%, 50% .....

I let you the 10 fastest growing fabebook languages (quite surprising results with a very good ranking for portuguese -because of numerous Brasilian social networkers-).

For an individual, the question is in how many languages do i read my messages and in how many languages do i write to my friends.

One important variable is the number of veiweings of the same movie. In my case, i have seen more than 30 times "Some like it hot" (Billy wilder) and it seems to me that i got a large part of the dialogue information. When you see a sutitled movie for the second time, it seems that the dialogue information is more pregrant. It depens also of your language level and the complexity and connections between visual and auditory information.

Thanks for all of you for the comments.

Gatekeeping is not a codified activity. It is practiced in diverse ways across and within organizations. Your question is really one related much more to organizational behavior than to media psychology, as such. Gatekeepers may be designated role players, self-appointed guardians, or be personal assistants with a personal understanding with their direct superior. More formally organized firms and institutions will tend to handle the gatekeeper function according to clear guidelines and procedures. Smaller and more informal organizations will be more likely to lack clear guidelines.

Paul,thank you for your suggestions about taking a look at the clips.I am doing a research about how the movies and TV programs affect college students and how can we design a kind of TV program that can encourage them to get rid of a confused station.

Not quite a website, but a most valuable tool - get James Monaco's multimedia DCD "HOW TO READ A FILM" - 4 complete books translated to media with 130 clips, 140 reference texts, interactive and more. Outside of Andre Bazin and Cahiers du cinéma, the most useful source I know. so much of the rest is doconstructionsim - always go for the positve.

Re: musicinimages - Fascinating project. Original and useful, as the cursor replicates the seccades (I mean the small hops the eye does from word to word while reading, not the prayer mats). Of course this follows the pattern of the Western world (left to right), not the Arab world (right to left) or Chinese/Japanese (top to bottom). I'm also sure we all have psychological associations with each shade of color, which blend together into music. You probably know Goethe and Kandinsky's writing on color and art, but are you familiar with the Lüscher Color Test and his work on the effects of each color? Could be useful to factor that in; perhaps the music could tell one something about their selection or personality/mood. More important is the idea that images direct one's attention, which is a big part of all art; in other words it would be useful to be able to rotate the image or the tracking of the cursor, in the direction one feels the image draws one's attention. I could send you a few examples from Russian poster art (the classic diagonal wedges and slashes which the eye follows). Perhaps there would be monotony in following this arc, but the point in the art is how intensity builds, like a stream flowing faster as it narrows, and that would need to be reflected in the music. Also it would be nice if one could select different beats, so that the image could be seen as a whole, either faster of slower, as people see things. Complicated technology, but it could be done. Bravo!

Hi Ron yes this can actually initiate cross cultural research where existing opinions and attitudes like in Pakistan can be well assessed in light of media persons running programs with probably another frame of mind.
