Profile
My research and teaching is all about media use and media effects. The courses that I currently teach have to do with entertainment, effects of the media on society and the individual, and children & media. In my research, I employ psychological methods and theories and also do cross-cultural investigations. Most of my projects are computer-/web-based. I enjoy collaborating with students and almost always have student co-authors. Most of my recent work has focused on how people select from media entertainment and news.
