I have a BA in Psych and have felt so stagnant in what I want to do with my career. This video has actually gave me a lot of clarity as media is something I've always been interested in, so thank you for making this!
I'm so glad this video was helpful!
Psychology is such a big field it can be difficult figuring out what you want to specialize in. I studied youth work in college and that also has a ton of avenues to work in so I concentrated that with biblical studies, but even as I'm doing that I'm learning more about youth culture that has a lot more to do with how we can relate to them and invest in their lives.
My wife loves Catfish!
Oh my gosh yeah I never realized how broad youth work could be until you just said it!
@@oliviasimonephd At least 4 girls in my grad class got jobs at the residential centre they did their practicums at, one worked with a youth centre in town, and even though none of us pursued youth court justice that's another path to go.
Video starts at 11:26
You should definitely do a video on your perspective on Catfish! I think it's fascinating how people can fall for this stuff over and over, even when they probably know deep down this person who won't video chat isn't who they seem.
Ooooh... That would be a good video!!! I'll start jotting notes down for that!! thank you!
I'd watch it. Hopefully my wife would too.
Thanks so much for sharing your insight! It's awesome to hear your journey through psychology and what's led you to what you're studying today :)
Thanks so much for watching!! :)
Wow! This vid just popped up in my recommended. Thank you. I'm considering IO Psych, but I'm still on the fence about doing it for a long time... I only have two semesters left for my Bachelor's, and in the Spring, my capstone course is Psychology in the Media. I'm so glad you shared this video, because I had no idea "media effects" was such a broad field of study.
I'm so glad you found this helpful! :) Best of luck as you figure out your next steps
OMG!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Iâm truly in passionate with Psychology
Aw you're so kind! Thanks for watching!
Love this video!! Super informative, thank you for sharing with us! âşď¸
I'm studying Media Science and Majoring in Advertising. Basically Media Psychology is in my first semester and i'm loving this course!
Ahh that's so fun!
@@oliviasimonephd Yes! Media psych is my favourite class â¤ď¸
â@@nycto16 Does Media Psych include pop culture and literature and the arts as well?
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 no no, it teaches you how people interact with media technologies and devices for example how people react when they see a phone TVC on tv or advertisement during youtube video. It also teaches about print media, basically the interaction between humans and forms of media. And we also learn how big brands persuade people through brand management and advertising.
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 the pop culture, literature and arts stuff are the part of History Of Media Arts, it was my most favorite class. We learn about art history, culture, literature, famous artists and their paintings, the message behind famous paintings. Historical buildings or places like my fav classes was The Egyptian Civilization!
Hi Olivia! My name is Kate and I am a sophomore at my university. I have declared psychology about two weeks ago, and I am content. My intended career for psych was art therapy, but then wondered what else could I do. I found media psychology which made me smile to think about because Ive always wanted to work with the media, have an interest in business, and wanted my career to be creative. I'm also considering marketing for public relations as well since I did a lot of that in high school and loved it! I came across your video about media psych so thank you so much for sharing! Do you have any advice? Thank you!
That's awesome, Kate! I def recommend taking a media effects course at your university if they have it. It should be in the Communications department (possibly in the sociology department instead). The good news is, all of those areas you mentioned (marketing, psych, media, business) are super interconnected! I'd say take as many of those different courses as you can. Of course, talking with an academic advisor is going to give you the best info for your specific program. Good luck!
I chose a Cyberpsychology through Regent University for the exact same reason. I LOVED social psych, and then found that I can mesh the two together.
Yes! Someone who understands!
Was it an MS in Cyberpsychology?
@@eanayac yes it was
Great video Iâm doing media for sure.
Yay! That's awesome!
Hope you have a very merry Christmas â¤ď¸đ
Thank you so much! I hope you did too!
Olivia's Grad School Vlogs I did thanks!!
Catatonic depression.... sounds all so familiarđł
Also can you go more in depth about what you said on the types of videos effect on children/adults (when you were talking about jump cuts vs Mr Rogers). That is interesting
I'll try to make a video on it!! :)
ha the router blinkin' away. i love your videos!
I always debate if I that guy is too distracting or if he's fine to leave in the shot đ¤Ł
You don't need to wear make up, you still look nice without it.
P.S. love the Christmas nailsđ.
haha thanks :p
Do you know if you need a heavy background in psychology to possibly go to grad school for media studies? I took psychology courses, Iâm in no way an expert, but Iâm so fascinated by how media is affecting our society and I feel that would be interesting to look into.
Brenda Natalie you do not!! People in my program have backgrounds in film studies, media production, marketing, and general communications. Iâm one of the few that did my undergrad in psychology đ
Does media psych. and I/O require phd? will masters be just enough? Also, do you think media psych. is better than I/O psych when applying to tech. companies or the social media industry? Btw, I have only just watched one of your videos but I love everything already!!! This was super duper helpful, informative and insightful đĽşâ¤ď¸ thank you!!
It depends on what you want to do! I'm sorry that's not very specific, but it honestly just depends!
Hi Alexa, it does depend. You can go into industry with the two degrees, but both fields are very different. So ultimately, it does depend on the career type that you want. I/Os are basically problem solvers in the workplace, so what you would be doing w that is very different from if you went into a large company with a media studies degree.
I canât say what level degree you need for media studies, but for I/O, if your plan is to go into industry or consulting, then go the masters route. If you plan on going into research/academia, then go the PhD route.
Lmk if you have more questions in regards to I/O Psych!
Could you talk a little more about career in media psychology
It's really going to be research related most likely! It could be with media organizations themselves, consulting firms, or in academia!
Not sure if you still check comments on this, but is this career possible to tie into pop culture instead of social media? Any company recs?
Hi! Yes, you can totally look at pop culture! There were many people in my program who focused on that instead of social media. I would still recommend finding a Media Studies graduate program :)
Do you know if I could work in the film industry with a media psychology major?
Daniela Guariento I definitely think you could! I interned with a company called âStoryfitâ over the summer that uses media psychology research to review scripts for shows being pitched to streaming services!
The director for the movie Inside Out hired a media psychologist to be a consultant for the characters in the film. I read an article on it and was blown away. I reached out to the psychologist, who is also a professor, via email and he actually emailed me back. I didn't even know media psychology was a thing. I IMMEDIATELY knew that was my final destination.
This was a great video. Thanks!!!
@@lisamcclendon3943 Do Media psychologists provide any kind of therapy?
Hi, I know that you attended UC Davis as a psych major and I was wondering what stood out to you or there or if the psych program they have is even good there because I know Davis specializes in other areas usually. Would you recommend Davis still for a psych major and why?
I am a pysch Major at uc Merced and at Merced itâs great for research. The only problem is Merced puts a lot of focus on their Stem majors than Humanities majors. That may be the same for Davis. Berkeley and Los Angeles have great psychology programs
Hi Kalista! I think I saw you message me on Instagram but I totally forgot to reply đ sorry! So Davis has a great psych program for undergrad. It's our most popular major! I learned SO MUCH STUFF and I honestly go back to my textbooks and notes from class on projects I'm working on now in grad school.
Davis does not have an I/O psych program however there is an Organizational Comm class taught by a woman who has actually worked in that field, and then sociology also has some courses that are basically I/O psych (in case you want to get a feel for that area specifically).
The way the major itself is set up allows students to take classes in Cognitive, Social, Developmental, and Biological areas of psych. There are also courses like personality psychology, abnormal psychology, psych of the self, psych of religion, and many more topics depending on the current faculty. I also recommend seeing what courses human development, comm, and soc are offering (my media effects course was in comm, but it used mainly psych theories!).
Like Alexis said, the program is great to set you up to succeed in grad school. There are multiple stats courses directed specifically for psych majors (stuff you'll actually use in grad school) as well as the research methods course (Psych 49) that honestly had me better prepared for my Grad school research methods course than some of my peers' master's programs research methods courses.
So yes I would recommend Davis for psych. Quarter system is difficult but if you read the textbook, show up to class, and study for exams, I promise you you'll be fully prepared to pursue grad school in psych or a related area. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)
Hi, my prof wants 20 idiom in media physiology .
Can you help me Iâm studying media so I donât know about physiology
My major is public relations
I'm sorry, I don't know what you're referring you. I'm sure your professor will help you understand the material! :)
I want to get a PhD, but Iâm a little bit dizzy, do I need an organizational psychology PhD or just a phd on psychology, the name stuff always get me :/
I recommend looking at the graduate psych programs at your university to start getting a feel for the lingo. Typically a PhD will be in the psych department, but then you specialize in an area (cognitive, social, clinical, developmental, I/O, etc.)
Also: Most important thing though, just make sure you look at the program description, check if they include an internship as part of the program, look at the curriculum break down, and the focus of the program (whether itâs equal research and applied, or one versus the other). And feel free to reach out if you have further questions! (:

What about the salary? Does it pay well??
Salary for...?
@@oliviasimonephd psychologists in general or media psychoogist
It's really going to depend! Clinical psychologists get paid well (100k+) but for research psychologists it's going to depend on if you're a professor in academia (~65k - 100k) or in industry(100+)
@@oliviasimonephd okay thank u so much
a PhD to get an HR job? what a waste. HR is bachelors level skill at best. It looks like there are no jobs that demand one has a media psych doctorate specidically. đ
Careers will probably expand over time. Media is growing and doesnât seem to be slowing down. Also there will probably be global avenues, such as combing with a cultural psych emphasis. You do have a point that itâs good to see what career options actually exist.
With media psych you can do anything mass communications related; typically with a PhD you do research (Facebook, CDC) or academia which is teaching + research.
First
Yay thank you so much!
Look MUCH better without the make up. Just sayin'.
