    Exkursionen in Sophies zweiter Welt. Neue Beiträge zum Thema des Wirklichkeitstransfers aus psychologischer und medienwissenschaftlicher Sicht

    No full text
    Die Theorie des Wirklichkeitstransfers beschreibt ein besonderes Verhalten der Rezipienten während dem Medienkonsum: nämlich ein Abdriften oder Entrücken in eine Scheinwelt der Medienfiktion – in eine zweite Welt eben. Im vorliegenden Band werden die psychischen Vorgänge beim Rezipienten während des Transfers näher ergründet. Zudem soll mittels Aussagenanalyse dem Potenzial von Fernsehsendungen, den Zuschauer in eine sekundäre, mediale Realität zu versetzen, nachgegangen werden. Der Erfolg von Onlinespielen wie «Second Life» und «World of Warcraft», aber auch der stetig steigende Konsum von fiktionalen Inhalten an Fernsehen und Spielkonsolen zeigen, dass die Theorie des Wirklichkeitstransfers immer aktueller wird

    When Media Environments Become Real WMEBR. Book of Abstracts

    No full text
    This book contains the abstracts selected for presentation at the conference “When Media Environments Become Real” which was held in the Division of Media Psychology at the University of Bern, Switzerland, February 4 to 6. The purpose of this conference was to explore the phenomenon of being immersed into media environments. Which processes are going on when media users are shifted into a secondary reality and which influence does this shift have on the reality? To analyse these topics, several concepts such as Presence, Transportation, Flow or Media Entertainment have been proposed in recent years. Though these constructs are all reflecting the question to what extent media reality can become “real” for media users, they mostly describe and explain immersive experiences independently from each other. Collaborations between the different approaches bear great potential which has not been realised so far. In the course of this international conference we therefore aimed at comprehensively analysing and debating the issue of immersion, confronting the different concepts and try to advance an integrative and interdisciplinary perception

    Motives for Creating a Private Website and Personality of Personal Homepage Owners in Terms of Extraversion and Heuristic Orientation

    The purpose of this study was to investigate personal characteristics of homepage owners as well as motives for creating an own homepage. Questionnaires were obtained from 102 personal website owners. Our results show that personal homepage owners are more extraverted compared to the general population. Furthermore, the personality of personal homepage owners differ from the general population since their cognitive style is more heuristic. However, within our sample bloggers did not differ from non-bloggers. The analyses concerning the motives showed that the main reasons for the participants to create and maintain an own homepage are enjoyment, exercise in terms of web design, and self-portrayal. Thereby, extraversion scores are highest for individuals who own a homepage with the objective to portray themselves. In contrast, the motive “exercise” refers to higher scores in terms of heuristic orientation. Since we assessed an Internet survey, self-selection biases may limitate our results
