This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the subjects and theories of media use research. In 37 contributions, the questions and subjects of the discipline are presented, the current state of research is analysed and an outlook on open questions is given. The contributions thus provide a systematic approach to the state of research on each topic from a communication science perspective. The handbook is divided into four parts: (1) the foundations of media use, (2) questions of media choice and attraction, (3) specific phenomena of media experiences and processes, and (4) the most important contexts of media use. Modern media effects theories can no longer forego analysing media experiences and processes. The handbook therefore examines these phenomena before and during media use in detail. The handbook’s target readership is the broad specialist audience of communication science and its related subjects, such as sociology, psychology, political science, educational science as well as advanced students of these disciplines.
