Cyberpsychology: Helping Psychologists Explain Human Thought and Behaviour?
Cyberpsychology: Helping Psychologists Explain Human Thought and Behaviour?
By investigating issues around gaming, social media, virtual reality, online learning and online groups, Cyberpsychology raises (and answers) questions about the motivations, experiences, and effects surrounding the interactions between humanity and technology. This makes it an attractive field of study for students in university and in preparing us with 21st century knowledge and skills.
Join us for a live panel discussion where Dr Linda K. Kaye, author of new book Issues and Debates in Cyberpsychology, Dr Dave Harley, who has been teaching Cyberpsychology at the University of Brighton for the last 10 years and Dr Lisa Orchard, Course Leader of the MSc Cyberpsychology programme at the University of Wolverhampton, will explore some of the key themes in studying this field and answer your burning questions.
