I am very excited to announce that I have joined the blogging community on Psychology Today‘s website writing about the positive use of media and social technologies. My blog there is called Positively Media: How we connect and thrive with emerging technologies. The first posting is called Zen Moment: Social Media isn’t a “thing,” it’s a state of being talks about the phenomenon of social media. Check it out! I’d love to have your feedback.

Dr. Pamela Rutledge is available to reporters for comments on the psychological and social impact of media and technology on individuals, society, organizations and brands.
Anyone going to the World Congress on Positive Psychology in Philadelphia next week?
We’ll be there on behalf of Claremont Graduate University, and are looking forward to connecting. If you’d like a preview of some of the leading speakers, we have talks archived on our website, including a free 45-minute preview:

The conference will also feature the legendary Dr. Phillip Zimbardo, best known for the other side of the equation—the psychology of why good people do bad things. We’re looking forward to seeing Zimbardo and Seligman together on the same stage. (His talk on the Abu Ghraib scandals can be seen in our free video library here:) http://www.cgu.edu/pages/4435.asp

Can’t wait to see everyone there!
