Mia Carbone
Biography
Mia’s research focuses on the ways in which affect, emotion, and identity influence media selection. For instance, she has most recently been interested in the ways psychophysiological responses to content drive media selection, and in particular the ways in which these responses may be a mechanism driving news avoidance. Her work relies on a combination of physiological lab experiments, in-person interviews, and survey data.
