We are the Media MOSAIC Lab in the Department of Communication at UC Santa Barbara. We are a group of social and behavioral scientists researching media effects on [m]arginalization, [o]nline hate, [s]ocial identity, [a]udiences, [i]ntergroup relations, and [c]ollective action.
We address these diverse research interests by integrating theory and research methodologies from communication and social psychology.
If you are an undergraduate communication student at UCSB and are interested in joining the lab as an undergraduate research assistant, please see here.
