Welcome to Litsy!

Our class is reading about media effects and stereotypes this week. #nonfiction #science #mediaeffects #commstudies #communicationstudies #gradstudent #collegelife

In preparation for a literature review on media effects studies, part of my #nonfiction reading this week presents a proposed model for understanding uses and gratifications framework with a motives focus. For the sake of focus, they focus on risk perceptions, but suggest that the model applies to many situations. #collegelife #gradstudent #communicationstudies #commstudies #mediaeffects #usesandgratifications #science #riskperception

We continue our exploration of #MediaEffects by looking at a literature gap. There are, it seems, few studies exploring the effects of persuasion in media from a media effects context. #collegelife #nonfiction #gradstudent #science #research #persuasion #commstudies #communicationstudies #cognitivestudies

Classes are remote until the end of the semester, and my cognitive communication theory class is still in full swing. For this week's #nonfiction, we are reading about Media Effects (one of my favorite topics!), starting with understanding motivation for #Facebook use through #SelfAffirmationTheory. #collegelife #gradstudent #science #research #commstudies #communicationstudies #cognitivetheory #mediaeffects #socialmedia

For this week's #nonfiction entry, we read about framing theory and media effects as related to processing political information. #cognitivetheory #gradstudent #collegelife #communicationstudies #mediaeffects

I read a lot of #nonfiction every year, but it's usually book chapters and journal articles. We just finished reading this chapter talking about the long history of media effects studies, examining the changes in various scientific fields that put us on our current track. #gradstudent #collegelife #mediastudies #communicationtheory #mediaeffects

I read a lot of #nonfiction every year, but it's usually book chapters and journal articles. Here's one I read recently for class. In it, the author tries to define what we mean when we talk about “effects“ in media effects theories. #gradstudent #collegelife #communicationtheory #mediaeffects #research #journal article #journalofcommunication #science
