Incorporating relevant theory and research from psychology (social, cognitive, clinical, developmental, and personality), mass communication, and media studies, Psychological Processes in Social Media examines both the positive and negative psychological impacts of social media use. This book covers a broad range of topics such as research methods, social influence, the viral spread of information, the use of social media in political movements, prosocial behavior, trolling and cyberbullying, and friendship and romantic relationships. Emphasizing the integration of theory and application throughout, this book offers an illuminating look at the psychological implications and processes around the use of social media.
