What Is Cyberpsychology?

Cyberpsychology is the study of how people think, feel, and behave in relation to digital technologies. It explores the ways the internet, social media, games, smartphones, and virtual environments shape our experiences—and how people, in turn, use and influence these technologies.

Researchers in this field examine topics such as online identity, digital communication, attention, wellbeing, and relationships. By bringing psychology together with the study of technology, cyberpsychology helps us better understand everyday life in an increasingly connected world.
