Yihan (Danny) Jia

Danny’s research intersects human-computer interaction, positive media psychology, and neuroscience. He examines how user engagements with/through immersive media (e.g., video games and virtual/mixed reality) enhance users’ behavioral and psychological well-being, spanning both short-term and long-term effects. In addressing these questions, he utilizes a combination of quantitative social science methods, including experiments, surveys, and biometrics. His research has been published in peer-reviewed journals and consistently featured at conferences by the International Communication Association (ICA) and the National Communication Association (NCA).
