Abstract

Dr. Makana Chock, an endowed professor at Syracuse University, studies media psychology, focusing on how individuals interact with media and technology, particularly in the context of social media. She explores the impact of social media on self-esteem and mental well-being, as well as how people respond to persuasive messages in mass media and extended reality contexts. Chock's research also delves into the use of virtual reality to promote empathy and understanding of diverse issues. She leads an extended reality lab at Syracuse University, where students are engaged in studying new technologies and their effects on society. [Extracted from the article]
