David Ewoldsen
I conduct research on persuasion and social influence (attitude and norm accessibility), adolescent risk taking behaviors (mostly smoking), and media psychology (film comprehension, cooperative behavior in video games, cultural models & the media). I am past co-editor and co-founded of the journal Media Psychology and past editor and founder of the journal Communication Methods and Measures. Both journals are published by Taylor and Francis. I am starting a new journal - Annals of the International Communication Association - that will start in 2017.
