Abstract
Insight into the media content, it can be observed relatively frequent representation psychological contents, either through direct guest psychologists in the media or through elaborating psychological issues. The theme of this research conducted on the chosen sample of respondents was to examine how psychologists see themselves representation of psychology in different types of media, in comparison with non -psychologists. We researched the extent to which psychologists participate in our media space, and how many are satisfied with the media. The survey also used two questionnaires, one for psychologists and others for non-psychologists. Psychologists and non -psychologists are statistically significantly different in their perceptions of the representation of psychology in different types of media, but not in their representation of perceptions on certain television programs. Psychologists perceived that most media often represented psychological activities in relation to non-psychologists. Perceptions of the representation of psychology in different types of media is not statistically significantly associated with the personal participation of psychologists in the media. Perceptions of the representation of psychology in different types of media is not statistically significantly associated with satisfaction psychologists performance in these media. Satisfaction with the performance in certain types of media is statistically significantly positively related with the personal participation of psychologists in certain types of media. While research holds a number of methodological shortcomings, the results are indicative.
