Portrait of Lindsay Hahun, University at Buffalo media psychology and media effects expert.

Lindsay Hahn is an expert on the effects of mass media on people’s conscience and actions, especially with regard to the cognitive and behavioral responses of audiences ranging in age from adolescence to adulthood.

Hahn’s research centers around the effects of exposure to entertainment and news media. She looks at how this exposure shapes people’s social behaviors and judgments.

Among other topics, her work focuses on the role of entertainment media as a contributing factor in children’s moral and self-centered behaviors, and, separately, on the extent to which appeals to morality can be an effective tool for radicalizing individuals to join or act on behalf of violent extremist groups.
