American Journal of Media Psychology. 1(1). 7-35 Reseach Interests:Broadly, my research interests focus on three substantive areas: a) media and international affairs - mostly in terms of American-Islamic relations, b) media and comparative democratization - primarily in Middle East, Africa, and Asia, and c) and science & environmental communication My research agenda centers around two sets of theoretical questions exploring a) how contextual and individual factors interact to influence communication and processes of opinion formation and b) the relationship between social identity and/or value orientations, processes of communication, and consequences for public opinion. I employ a range of quantitative methodologies, including survey research, experimental designs, content analysis, and secondary data analysis. |
