  D. Giles “Media Psychology” (the abstract)
  1. Introduction
  
  I am going to review the abstract from the book of David Giles under the title “Media Psychology”.
  The headline foreshadows the main theme of the book. According to the title of the book we can say that abstract under review is about such notion as media psychology, history of its formation and development.
  The structure of the book is the following:
  1) Part 1. Media psychology in context (it is devoted to the definition of media psychology, its place in scientific territory and scientific survey of researches in this field);
  2) Part 2. Psychological effects and influences of media (it concerns media violence, prosocial effects, influence of pornography and advertisement);

  2. The review of the abstract from the book “Media Psychology” by David Giles
  
  The book under discussion is devoted to the problem of media impact on human behavior including teenagers’ fanaticism on pop stars and violence in children circles.
  The key issue of this book is the importance of media psychology as a separate scientific science. The author of the book touches upon the problem of historical and modern investigations of media in a view of psychology. The main topic is that earlier psychologists ignored the influence of media, but nowadays media is considered to have even greater influence on people thanks to appearance of new forms of mass media including electronic communication.
  As the author of the book says in the preface to the book, the idea of this book was born from his specialist final year option, which later led to the writing of great research in the field of media psychology. The main idea of the book is the cliche that television (and later internet) has destroyed the art of communication. The author of the book tried to show traditional topics of media psychology such as violence, advertising etc. and the aspects of media influence on people in the review of psychology.
