Psychology Today | 08.05.2026 22:09
Media psychology is the branch of psychology that examines people interactions with media—television, film, video games, music, and, of course, digital technology—and how media affect people's behavior, thoughts, and emotions, and how media shape the broader culture. It became an official branch of psychology in the mid 1980s, before the explosion of digital communication and social media. Television and its developmental effects, and specifically the impact of violent programming, was a central concern.
