媒体在我们日常生活中的影响力越来越大，这一点不容忽视：以通信、信息和娱乐形式出现的媒体内容占据了我们大量的闲暇时间和清醒时间。在线和移动的媒体进一步扩展了传统大众媒体的范围，使媒体内容和以计算机为媒介的传播在任何时间和任何地点都可以获得。关于这种大规模媒体曝光对用户福祉的影响的担忧，自我们学科的早期以来一直是研究的重要驱动力。虽然媒体影响的研究议程长期以来一直以关注媒体使用的负面和意外影响为主，但最近的研究也开始探索媒体曝光的许多有益影响，例如通过“有意义的娱乐”诱导提升和其他积极情绪，媒体作为社会互动和支持的促进者，或媒体在恢复和恢复资源中的使用。在这一研究传统中，现有证据的异质性表明媒体使用和幸福感之间存在复杂的关系。因此，更好地了解推动媒体对福祉产生影响的基本过程，或可能使一些用户更容易受到风险影响而另一些用户更容易受益于媒体使用的情况和个人差异，仍然是媒体心理学领域的一个关键挑战。这期特刊的目的是展示媒体心理学的现状，艺术研究，为媒体使用和福祉的相互作用提供创新的见解。因此，提交特刊发表的研究报告应：
The growing influence of media in our daily lives is hard to overlook: Media content in the form of communication, information, and entertainment demands a significant share of our leisure time and waking hours. Online and mobile media have further extended the scope of traditional mass media and make media content and computer-mediated communication available at any time and at any place. Concerns about the effects of this massive media exposure on the users’ well-being have been a significant driver of research since the early days of our discipline. Whereas the research agenda on media effects has long been dominated by a focus on the negative and unintended implications of media use, more recent research has also started to explore the numerous beneficial effects of media exposure, such as inducing elevation and other positive emotions via “meaningful entertainment”, media as a facilitator of social interaction and support, or media use in recovery and the restoration of resources. The heterogeneity of the existing evidence in this research tradition suggests a complex relationship between media use and well-being. Consequently, gaining a better understanding of the underlying processes that drive media effects on well-being, or the situational and individual differences which may make some users more vulnerable to the risks and others more susceptible to the benefits of media use, remains a crucial challenge for the field of media psychology.The aim of this special issue is to showcase state-of-the-art research that provides innovative insight into the interplay of media use and well-being. Research submitted for publication in the special issue should thus:
