The editorial team of Review of Communication Research invites submissions of literature reviews and meta-analyses that explore the role of communication and media technologies in fostering empathy and prosocial outcomes.
Media technologies such as computer games, multi-user environments, virtual and augmented realities have been studied as tools to promote positive outcomes by building empathy towards others and increasing prosocial attitudes and behaviours. We welcome papers that include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Perspective-taking and empathy
- Influence of communication technologies on prosocial outcomes
- Effects of media technologies on attitudes towards outgroups
- Empathy and communication and media technologies
