Media Psychology Reviews

This is a much-needed and integrative introductory textbook. It provides a succinct overview of the different psychological theories that ground media psychology research, without sacrificing the complexity of the field or the many questions that arise in a rapidly evolving media landscape. I will definitely incorporate it into my Introduction to Media Psychology course. - Dr Pamela Rutledge, Fielding Graduate University and Director of the Media Psychology Research Center, USA Brewer has made an important contribution to a growing field - this book will provide students with an invaluable grounding in Media Psychology. - Stuart Price, Reader in Media Discourse, De Montfort University, UK The book provides a fascinating guide to media psychology and introduces a range of subjects central to the A-level syllabus. Brewer combines detailed accounts of core areas (e.g. media influence on eating behavior and violence), with contemporary issues (e.g. celebrity worship) in a clear and engaging style. - Laura Hanson, Head of A-level Psychology, Arnold School, Lancashire, UK
