What is
Cyberpsychology?
"Cyberpsychology can be broken down into two parts, cyber
and psychology. Cyber deals with computers and psychology
deals with the study of the mind and human behavior.
Therefore, cyberpsychology is the study of the mind and
human behavior and its interaction with one's self and
others while on computers. The use of computers on the
internet facilitates interaction with other people, not just
with a computer.
Cyberspace is
experienced in a virtual reality with actual communities and
interactions. Humans dictate what is interesting and what is
visited through their emotions and feelings about the
topics. The study of cyberspace and the human mind and
behavior is what constitutes cyberpsychology."
