Autorenporträt
Brad J. Bushman received his Ph.D. in psychology in 1989 from the University of Missouri. He is a professor of communication at The Ohio State University. Previously, he was a professor at the University of Michigan and Iowa State University. He has been a visiting professor at other universities in the U.S. (i.e., University of Southern California, University of Colorado, Case Western Reserve University) and in other countries (Free University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands; University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands; University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg; University of Grenoble Alpes, France; Warsaw School of Social Psychology, Poland; University of Bamberg, Germany). For over 30 years he has studied causes, consequences and cures to problems of human aggression and violence. Known for his research on violent media, he has also examined other topics related to aggression (e.g., "hangry" = hungry + angry, global warming, alcohol, social rejection, frustration, narcissism, venting anger). He was a member of President Obama's gun violence committee, has co-chaired two youth violence reports (one for the National Science Foundation and one for the International Society for Research on Aggression) and has testified before Congress about youth violence. He is Editor of the American Psychological Association (APA) journal, Psychology of Violence. His research has challenged several myths (e.g., guns make people safer, venting anger is healthy, aggressive people have low self-esteem) and has been called the "myth buster." His research has been funded by grants, published in top scientific and medical journals, widely cited and featured in the mass media. He has received awards for teaching and research, and lives in Columbus, Ohio with his wife Tam Stafford. In his spare time, he likes to travel, cook (and eat!) vegetarian food and ride his bike.
