The Age of Cyberpsychology: An Overview
This article serves as an overview and introduction to the discipline of cyberpsychology. Research and scholarship on the interaction of technology and human behavior through the lens of psychology has exploded, and relatedly the field of cyberpsychology. The internet has transformed social interactions, communication patterns, and even our identities. Research literature and presentations in the area of cyberpsychology have primarily attended to personality variables, perceptual processes, emotional functioning, and behavioral responses. Five major areas identified in the literature as especially relevant to the field are examined, including online behavior and personality; social media use and psychological functioning; games and gaming; telepsychology; and virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and applications.

Journal of Behavior Therapy and Mental Health - Cyberpsychology
Cyberpsychology is an interdisciplinary field of study that examines the psychological implications of technology and digital media. It explores the impact that virtual environments and the internet have on human behavior, cognition, communication, emotion and relationships. Cyberpsychology looks at how people interact and form relationships in virtual spaces, how individuals use digital media for self-expression, and how technology affects mental health and wellbeing. By studying the psychological effects of digital technologies and their social implications, cyberpsychology can aid in the development of new technological tools, help to identify and manage risks, and aid in the pursuit of ethical approaches to technology use.
