    This document summarizes a chapter from "The Oxford Handbook of Media Psychology" about the history of media psychology. It argues that media psychology has roots in philosophical ideas about how our senses mediate reality and in early psychology's studies of perception and cognition. A social psychology influenced by these areas further developed the concept of media as instruments of culture and influence. The chapter explores how media psychology fits within current research in psychology and social psychology.

    Abstract and Keywords


    Currently, media psychology appears to be a fragmented area of study, an
    appendage of sorts to many disciplines such as communication studies and
    even psychology. And yet, it is the case that this current state obscures a
    long history and tradition that leads to the development of media psychology
    within psychology as a discipline. The history of media psychology will
    be explored at two levels. First, it will be argued that the idea of media
    psychology emerges with the notion of mediation of reality by our senses
    in philosophy, the study of perception and cognition in early psychology.
    This tradition is then carried into a social psychology that is influenced
    by the study of perception and where the idea and role of media as
    instruments of culture, influence and cognition is further developed. The final
    section explores the status of media psychology within current research in
    psychology and social psychology.
