Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Psychologists are increasingly sought by the media for insights into national events and guidance on psychological disorders and common interpersonal problems. This opportunity offers psychologists a credible, far-reaching, and inexpensive way to educate millions of Americans about psychological findings. This volume provides practical guidance for achieving this balance in work with print, radio, and television media. Contributors also explore the effects of media portrayals of individuals and groups, such as the documented negative effect of televised violence on youth.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
