Psychology and Pop Culture: An Empirical Adventure examines the psychological aspects of pop culture preferences, personality, and behavior from across sixteen research studies. The authors analyze such phenomena as superhero and antihero fandoms, internet trolls, women in popular culture, generational preferences, and romance and sexuality. Analyzing pop culture in the context of the #MeToo movement, LGBTQIA+ representation, and contemporary politics, Keith W. Beard, April Fugett, and Britani Black pay close attention to contemporary issues of inclusion and marginalization.

Anyone who has ever speculated about who would win if Superman, Batman, and the Hulk engaged in a three-way fight will find Psychology and Pop Culture: An Empirical Adventure fascinating. The authors are scientists who combine their vast knowledge of popular culture with considerable expertise in psychology. I suspect the three authors are master teachers—since I can't take their classes, I'll have to settle for reading their book. I read it with genuine pleasure, and I suspect you will enjoy it just as much as I did.
