Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In the era of interdisciplinary partnerships, the field of cyberpsychology has emerged as a crucial nexus for understanding the intersection of human behavior and technology. This article explores the profound contributions of cyberpsychology to computing and technology, drawing on foundational work that highlights key areas. While human-computer interaction (HCI) and user-experience (UX) design have benefited from psychological principles, the broader integration of comprehensive psychological theories within computing remains relatively limited. This article examines the critical influence of cyberpsychology on cybersecurity and cyberprivacy, virtual reality and AI, the future of work, and the challenges of misinformation and disinformation. These areas represent some of the most pressing technological issues of the 21 st century, where the insights from cyberpsychology are increasingly vital.
