Media Psychology is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to publishing
theoretically-oriented empirical research that is at the intersection of
psychology and media communication. These topics include media uses,
processes, and effects.

Such research is already well represented in mainstream journals in
psychology and communication, but its publication is dispersed across many
sources. Therefore, scholars working on common issues and problems in
various disciplines often cannot fully utilize the contributions of kindred
spirits in cognate disciplines. By providing a high-quality, common
publication outlet for psychologists, human developmental specialists,
communication researchers, and other scholars who are interested in the
psychological antecedents and consequences of communicating via mass media
(television), telecommunications media (computer networks), and personal
media (multimedia), potentially fertile cross-disciplinary work can
flourish. 

Although most of the published articles will report original empirical
research that bridges mediated communication and psychology,
state-of-the-art reviews and meta-analyses that provide a major synthesis of
primary research findings in a pivotal area will be considered. Manuscripts
will be judged by the degree to which they make a major theoretical
contribution and offer a substantial advancement to the body of knowledge
about the uses, processes, or effects of the media.
