Media Psychology: Students
built 213 days ago
In this project students of the University of Eichstätt (social sciences, psychology, journalism, economics) as well as media economy students from the University of Siegen were involved. It deals with "reality management" while consuming movies and with an extension of the "Disposition Theory of Entertainment" (Zillmann) on the basis of the new cognition-emotion theories (vgl. Scherer, Schorr, & Johnstone, 2001). The aim of the study is a psychologically founded drama theory (basic research) and an instrument for the evaluation of the drama quality of audio-visual media products.

The PhD in media psychology has no academic calendar. Students are allowed to study anywhere at any time. However, a lesson plan must be agreed upon between students and faculty. Essentially, a student will design the best lesson plan for him/her and Fielding Graduate University faculty must determine whether or not that lesson plan will meet the requirements of a complete PhD. Unusual, yes, but this has been a very successful model for existing professionals to use for honing their craft.

The course aims to provide students with a thorough grounding in theory and research and an appreciation of the emerging field of media psychology. These goals are accomplished through a combination of lectures, readings, discussions, demonstrations, and student papers, research, presentations, and exams.
