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)
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

Key Perspectives
Consideration of Cyber Security in the context of CyberPsychological factors
1. 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

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
Our vision is that the CyberPsychology Research
Centre will become a global leader in delivering
research and insight at the intersection of psychology
and technology
