  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. ‘State & Trait’ in Cyberspace • Anonymity (Joinson, 2001) • Online disinhibition effect (Suler, 2004) • Cyber immersion (Takatalo et al., 2008) • Cyber presence (Riva et al., 2007) • Self-presentation online(Gibbs et al., 2006) • Privacy (McMahon& Aiken, 2014; Barnes, 2006) • Escalation online (White & Horvitz, 2002) • Altruism (Adar & Huberman, 2000) • Trust (Putnam, 2000) • Identity (Turkle, 1999; Gross & Acquisti, 2005) 4

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

  7. Research Vision • Cyberpsychology approach: understanding new norms of behaviour online • Theoretically profound, experimentally rigorous, developmentally longitudinal, technically sophisticated to achieve longlasting positive societal effects • Adhere to principles of Virtual Research Methodology

  8. Our vision is that the CyberPsychology Research Centre will become a global leader in delivering researchand insight at the intersection of psychology and technology Thank you www.cypsy.com
