Re: [IxDA Discuss] Working group for psychology & social media
I agree and I'd also suggest that if you work in, or are studying deeper cognitive activities like learning via technology mediated means, then this is probably pretty important, too. I don't have formal psychology training but am presently doing an MA in Learning and Technology, while my background is web design and IX/UX. Right now, my interests are very focused on the role and potential for social software. Cognitive psychology is fairly large in the overall area of learning.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Working group for psychology & social media
I'm with Robert on this. I have graduate training in social psychology and co-authored a number of papers in books and social psychology journals in the 1970s and early 1980s and still keep up with the literature. Since the advent of "groupware", social psychology has been an important (although sometimes implicit) aspect of interaction design. So, how about establishing an interest group for those with formal training and a serious interest in social psychology (and related disciplines).

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Working group for psychology & social media
Adrian, I'm not a psychologist, but I did study Clinical & Social Psychology as one of my undergrad majors, and I use that experience for my IxDA work almost daily. What level of expertise would be required? And what kind of credentials? -Damon adrian chan wrote: > Folks, > > I've set up a private google google group for psychologists interested > in social media.

It sounds like your intent is to have a discussion on psychology's role in social media. Anyone interested in both topics could benefit from and contribute to such a discussion. I'm not a psychologist, but I have studied it extensively and am particularly very interested in social psychology and its role in design. -r- Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Hi Adrian, I am not a Psychologist but I work with one (we work at a branding/advertising agency), and we are interested on the subject.

[IxDA Discuss] Working group for psychology & social media
Folks, I've set up a private google google group for psychologists interested in social media. I know there aren't likely many psychologists among us, but if you know of any, or have worked with, consulted with, read or otherwise caught wind of psychologists on social media, feel free to let me know. The aim of the group will be to share insights and ideas applicable to social media user studies, research, and so on. If we are able to agree on anything, and can bring ourselves to publish/blog our analyses, I'll be happy to share them here. A number of you have expressed interest in what psychologists have to say on social media -- I chose to limit the group to practicing psychologists but I do want to share our findings. Let me know if you'd like me to let you know what we come up with. I'm sure I'll blog about it here and at johnnyholland.org. cheers, adrian 415 516 4442 Twitter: /gravity7 Social Interaction Design, Expertise, Consulting (gravity7) (gravity7 blog) (slideshare) Sr Fellow, Society for New Communications Research (SNCR) Adhocnium Member (adhocnium) LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/adrianchan) Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
