8 . The device of claim 7 , wherein:

the first media viewing device comprises a first television, a first computer; a first smartphone, or any first combination thereof; and

the second media viewing device comprises a second television, a second computer; a second smartphone, or any second combination thereof.

9 . A method, comprising:

obtaining first data associated with a first user, wherein the first data is indicative of one or more first personality traits of the first user;

obtaining second data associated with a second user, wherein the second data is indicative of one or more second personality traits of the second user;

receiving, via a communications network from a first user device of the first user, first usage data, wherein the first usage data is indicative of viewing by the first user of media content and is received during viewing of the media content by the first user;

receiving, via the communications network from a second user device of the second user, second usage data, wherein the second usage data is indicative of viewing by the second user of the media content and is received during viewing of the media content by the second user;

responsive to receipt of the first usage data and the second usage data, determining at least one change to be made to the media content, wherein the change to be made to the media content is in accordance with the one or more first personality traits of the first user, and wherein determining the at least one change is based on reducing a stress level of the first user;

responsive to the determining the at least one change and during viewing of the media content by the first user and the second user, editing, by a processing system including a processor, the media content to reflect the at least one change, wherein the editing results in edited media content; and

providing the edited media content to the first user device and the media content to the second user device, wherein the edited media content provided to the first user device reflects the at least one change, and wherein the media content provided to the second user device does not reflect the at least one change.

10 . The method of claim 9 , the method further comprising:

receiving, via the communications network from the second user device of the second user, additional second usage data, wherein the additional second usage data is indicative of viewing by the second user of the media content and is received during viewing of the media content by the second user;

responsive to receipt of the additional second usage data, determining at least one second change to be made to the media content, wherein the at least one second change to be made to the media content is in accordance with the one or more second personality traits of the second user; and
