The seminar’s two main goals are (1) to introduce you to some of the major theoretical approaches to research on the social psychological effects of mass media, and (2) to offer you a forum for developing and exercising basic skills in reading, understanding, and writing theoretical and empirical social scientific work. The seminar focuses primarily, though not exclusively, on communication and social psychological research conducted within a social scientific framework. You will encounter topics that have received a great deal of attention in the literature on mass communication uses and effects. Given time and practical constraints, however, only selected topics can be included. This course is intended to provide a solid foundation for you to build upon in your subsequent coursework and research trajectory. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
