Journal of Media Psychology is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering media psychology.
About us
The Journal of Media Psychology (JMP) is committed to publishing original, high-quality papers which cover the broad range of media psychological research. This peer-reviewed journal focuses on how human beings select, use, and experience various media as well as how media (use) can affect their cognitions, emotions, and behaviors. Submissions must substantially advance the current state-of the art on a theoretical and/or an empirical level. To name just a few typical fields and domains of inquiry, the Journal of Media Psychology considers manuscripts dealing with research on entertainment, computer-mediated communication (including social media), human-computer interaction, e-learning, computer and video games, virtual environments, or advertising. The journal is also open to research from neighboring disciplines as far as this work ties in with psychological concepts of the uses and effects of the media. Submissions of comparative work, e.g., crossmedia, cross-gender, or cross-cultural, are encouraged. Moreover, submissions including alternative analysis procedures such as the Bayesian approach are welcome. Starting in 2015, the pre-registration of research plans will also be possible. To ensure short turn-around cycles for manuscript review and fast publication, the Journal of Media Psychology relies heavily upon electronic communication and information exchange, starting from electronic submission and continuing throughout the entire review and production process.

Did you know you can submit #JMPRegisteredReports? Registered reports allow you to pre-register a detailed research proposal and conduct the study within 6 months of acceptance of the proposal. Check out the scope and guidelines of this submission type at https://lnkd.in/ecg4GJKN Why submit? A few reasons: i) "Registered reports allow people to have early feedback on their proposal and evaluate the robustness of their ideas", according to Nick Bowman, JMP editor-in-chief. ii) If the papers are well-received in peer review, the journal agrees “in principle” to publish the article regardless of the study results. This helps remove some uncertainty about the final destination of your research! iii) This process tends to result in a more collaborative peer review, with the authors and the journal editorial team focusing on making the paper the strongest contribution that it can be. Here’s an example of a registered report that found that an inoculation treatment is more effective in increasing resistance toward persuasion compared to a supportive defense treatment and a no-treatment control condition.

Working on replicating a prior work in media psychology? We publish #JMPReplicationReports that present the results of studies conducted as either exact or conceptual replications of past published research. Learn more about this submission type at https://lnkd.in/ecg4GJKN Editor Nick Bowman explains why replications are important, as “they are part of a process of iterative science. As we build our empirical record, we need to be sure that we’re building on a sound foundation. They also help us know if and how things have changed over time.” See the article on the need for replication in communication research: https://lnkd.in/eaua36is You will find below the example of a replication report published in JMP that replicated an early US longitudinal study. https://lnkd.in/e7TrRgen

If you're working on an innovative media psychology theory or model, consider submitting your theoretical work to JMP. You can read about this submission type here: https://lnkd.in/ecg4GJKN "Theories tell us where to look and what to look at", says JMP editor-in-chief Nick Bowman. “And of course, sometimes we really need to challenge our theories and move beyond them.” #JMPTheoreticalPapers can propose theories or models, challenge existing theories, provide overviews of research in pertinent areas, or focus on methodological issues.

Have an interesting finding or method that you would like to publish? We publish smaller empirical studies or articles focusing on methods as #JMPResearchReports with no more than 4000 words. Learn more about this submission option here: https://lnkd.in/ecg4GJKN Editor Nick Bowman sees research reports as the "nuts and bolts" of communication research. (See editorial: https://lnkd.in/ed9Qu_jS) We asked him a bit more about research reports, and his response? “The shorter research reports are the signal detection of science, especially good for incidental findings. They are how we establish an empirical trail for future work.” Here's an example of a research report published earlier this year. The report explored how source similarity, dispositional optimism, and goal attainability influence the outcomes of upward social comparisons with outstanding others. https://lnkd.in/e9jhDivc

In this #JMPAdvanceArticle, Dongwoo Ko and Jihye Park from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies look at how people's perceptions of inequality in the world affect their game consumption. They find that as people’s belief in the existence of a fair world decreases, their inclination to play online games increases.

#JMPAdvanceArticle: Mincheol Shin, PhD (Tilburg University), Rumittar Sibuea and Heejae Lee (S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University) show that differences in the structural affordances of virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) can induce distinctive effects on emotional states. They found that VR induced a higher sense of plausibility illusion than MR, which played a mediating role in amplifying arousal and perceived fear.

In this recent #JMPAdvanceArticle, Gary Lee Wagener and André Melzer from the University of Luxembourg examine the moral implications of violent media and the role of personality-related factors in it. Through two experimental studies, they tested if people experienced moral distress on watching or playing violent video games.
