The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Cyberpsychology
摘要
This book is the first extensive encyclopedia for the field of Cyberpsychology and the study of digital behaviours. As the world’s most rapidly developing sub-discipline of psychology, Cyberpsychology has been spreading on the research and education map for the last twenty years. Whilst numerous educational handbook texts have emerged, there are currently no major international reference works which pull together many of the concepts, theories, important ideas, and descriptions relating to the psychology of digital behaviour. This text aims to consolidate extant knowledge developed during that time to provide a historical record as well as a current resource for anyone interested in digital behaviour. In doing so, it will include a diverse array of entries that cover theory, research and application of the wider work currently being undertaken in Cyberpsychology. The book will provide a vital resource for anyone interested in the factors shaping our digital and technological behaviours, and the impacts of these behaviours on individuals and society.
