What is CyberPsychology? • Field within applied psychology • Internet psychology, virtual environments, AI& IA, gaming, digital convergence, social media, mobile telephones and networking devices • 30 peer-reviewed journals: 1,000 articles • CyberPsychology:exponential growth due to continued rapid acceleration of Internet technologies and the ‘unprecedentedly pervasive and profound influence of the internet on human beings’ (Yan, 2012) 1 2
Psychology of Cyberspace • Interest in cyberspace:cognitive, social, educational, organisational, personality, clinical and experimental psychologists. • Traditional ‘real world theories’ – will they suffice? do we need to modify - or develop new ones? • Interdisciplinary scholars are crystalising new ideas and moving towards conquering a new scientific frontier 3

Cyber security & ‘factoring in the human’ - Person vs. User - State & Trait - Real World vs. Virtual World Self (org. insider threat) - Organizational CyberPsychology: Hierarchical vs. Networked (zero day scenario) - Cyber Behavioral Profiling – NB Motive (primary & secondary gains) 2. Cyberspace as an environment - Immersive vs. Transactional - Need to update/revise definitions? Privacy, Identity, Trust, Security, Resilience - Minimisation of Status and Authority in Cyberspace 3. Cyber technologies - Artificial Intelligence (A.I) v’s Intelligence Amplification (I.A) - Scientific Creativity - Cyber Ethics / Cyber-Tort 5
