Identity is a multi-faceted brand, differentiating itself for a target demographic. I’m interested in the interactions of mediated culture and psychological constructions of the self, obsessed with mental disorders and psychology while being painfully aware of my own inadequacies. I am a prototypical non-conformist with a vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs. I’m guiltily self-absorbed and I quietly compete with others for brief moments of self-aggrandizing brilliance. I’m a slave to the capitalist dogma I spend every moment of my waking life bitching about. Also, I’m an up-talker? Currently, I’m a graduate student in the Department of Telecommunications at Indiana University. My research interests encompass many areas of media studies and psychology: the role of the internet on everyday life the way increasingly mediated lifestyles change social relations psychosocial uses and effects of media on identity construction among adolescents and young adults I graduated with honors from the University at Buffalo in 2006, receiving a BS in Psychology and a BA in Film Studies. I used to work as Project Director for a youth media program and as Senior Research Analyst for a couples study. In my spare time, I can be found making all sorts of crafts and listening to music.

Psychological Review. Vol 101(1), Jan 1994, 34-52.</p> <p>Abstract A theory of ironic processes of mental control is proposed to account for the intentional and counterintentional effects that result from efforts at self-control of mental states. The theory holds that an attempt to control the mind introduces 2 processes: (1) an operating process that promotes the intended change by searching for mental contents consistent with the intended state and (2) a monitoring process that tests whether the operating process is needed by searching for mental contents inconsistent with the intended state. The operating process requires greater cognitive capacity and normally has more pronounced cognitive effects than the monitoring process, and the 2 working together thus promote whatever degree of mental control is enjoyed. Under conditions that reduce capacity, however, the monitoring process may supersede the operating process and thus enhance the person’s sensitivity to mental contents that are the ironic opposite of those that are intended.</p> <p>(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2009 APA, all rights reserved)</p>http://jacklynfarris.com/post/439347495http://jacklynfarris.com/post/439347495Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:16:00 -0500researchpsychology<p>“the enlightened use of paradoxial intentions”</p>http://jacklynfarris.com/post/439149631http://jacklynfarris.com/post/439149631Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:45:00 -0500me<p>why is it that trying so hard sometimes seems to guarantee not just a failure of control but its ironic reversal?</p>http://jacklynfarris.com/post/439101615http://jacklynfarris.com/post/439101615Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:07:00 -0500mepsychologyaphorisms<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyzdi0Jbxt1qzl61fo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>snow boots and short shorts? interesting…</p>http://jacklynfarris.com/post/435205304http://jacklynfarris.com/post/435205304Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:41:00 -0500photos<p>ha! i got so excited about geeking out that i forgot about all the annoying parts that come with it.</p>http://jacklynfarris.com/post/430753009http://jacklynfarris.com/post/430753009Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:53:00 -0500me<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3BhrNeSJSUE&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3BhrNeSJSUE&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BhrNeSJSUE&NR=1">The Mean World Syndrome - Case Study: Child Abductions</a></p>http://jacklynfarris.com/post/422716290http://jacklynfarris.com/post/422716290Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:09:00 -0500researchacademicmedia lifetv<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ylhqasb1chI&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ylhqasb1chI&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylhqasb1chI&NR=1">The Mean World Syndrome - Media As Storytellers </a></p>http://jacklynfarris.com/post/422708094http://jacklynfarris.com/post/422708094Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:04:00 -0500researchacademicmedia lifetv<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/msfu8YCCc8Q&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/msfu8YCCc8Q&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msfu8YCCc8Q">The Mean World Syndrome - Desensitization & Acceleration </a></p>http://jacklynfarris.com/post/422693132http://jacklynfarris.com/post/422693132Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:56:00 -0500media liferesearchacademictv<a href="http://jezebel.com/5480424/my-favorite-book-is-facebook-kids-classics-updated-for-the-myspace-generation">My Favorite Book Is Facebook: Kids' Classics Updated For The MySpace Generation</a>http://jacklynfarris.com/post/417936607http://jacklynfarris.com/post/417936607Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:09:00 -0500social networkspop culture<a href="http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2010/02/21/chatroulette-from-my-perspective.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+zephoria%2Fthoughts+%28apophenia%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher">ChatRoulette, from my perspective</a>: <p>danah boyd, doing her thing. quite wonderful tangent on the role of the stranger in society.</p>http://jacklynfarris.com/post/417587975http://jacklynfarris.com/post/417587975Sun, 28 Feb 2010 09:12:00 -0500media lifepop culture<a href="http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/02/no-lie-your-facebook-profile-is-the-real-you/">No Lie!
