How do nature documentaries entertain us hedonically & eudaimonically? What's the role of awe & suspense? Do they inspire conservation or travel, increasing co2 footprint? Findings from our experiments are now published in @MassComm_Soc (open access): https://t.co/80ULH4tCl2
Soon? We'll be in Slovenia for #ecrea24 with a pair of manuscripts. The first one? An ongoing partnership with myself, @dpossler + @R_Daneels focused on our efforts to move towards a deeper understanding of the eudaimonic motivations to play video games. Teasers!
Interested in research on misinformation, conspiracy theories or selective exposure? We’re searching for a PhD student in our Media Psychology group in Landau (3 years). Please contact me for any questions – very much looking forward to your applications! https://t.co/zAoBlYaEzN
Vielen Dank für die Einladung @ifp_mainz und die Organisation rund um den Workshop @aliciaxgilbert und Daniel Stegmann.
Uns hat der Theorieworkshop sehr viel Spaß gemacht und wir nehmen aus den Diskussionen mit Euch viele Denkanstöße mit.
💡Wofür braucht es Theorien? Was ist eine gute Theorie? Wie kann man praktisch Theoriebildung betreiben? Diese Fragen beantworteten @admeierlab und @dpossler in ihrem Theorieworkshop am IfP. Wir danken für den wertvollen Input!
Excited to share that I've rejoined @HannoverIjk as a Postdoc! I am grateful for the amazing 1.5 years @Uni_WUE and already miss the team, but I am also thrilled to be back in Hannover, collaborating with old friends, and spending more time with family thanks to less commuting.
Pub Alert! Introducing new @Journal_of_Comm publication: “How dual-message nature documentaries that portray nature as amazing and threatened affect entertainment experiences and pro-environmental intentions”, by @a_freeday and @dpossler. Read here: https://t.co/NeQYGjy1NZ
Can nature shows that portray the beauty of nature *and* its increasing destruction entertain us and motivate pro-environmental behavior? Our new study in @Journal_Of_Comm suggests they can and eudaimonic experiences seem key.
Very excited about this pub with the great @a_freeday
📣In 3 studies (N=1520) now published

The Positive Media Psychology Symposium was a blast. Three days of amazing people, insightful talks, and inspiring discussions about how to move the field forward. Thanks @SHJinspire and Katie Dale for organizing this great event and inviting us to sunny California!
Thank you @DGPs_MediaPsych for the trust. I am honored and look forward to serving as the division’s Early Career Researcher (ECR) representative for the next 2 years together with @LunaFrauhammer 🙌.
Anything you feel we can do to support ECRs in MediaPsych? Please let us know!
Now @dpossler & @RegineFrener kick off the first @JMP_Hogrefe panel - a new format for ERCs in which they submitted research reports to the journal, got two blind reviews and the best four papers not only got into this panel but also got a RR at the journal
„Die Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur – eine Lösung infrastruktureller Bedarfe für die Inhaltsanalyse?"

New in Games & Culture! Together with @dpossler@bowmanspartan, we found players not only select games for hedonic (absorption), but also for eudaimonic reasons (e.g., wanting to reflect about/reach the best in myself). More to come on this relevant topic!
