Answers for cyberpsychology
1) What is cyberpsychology?
A vital question, especially as Big Tech immerses us further into metaverses as well as other AI-laden and embodied experiences.
2) How is cybertechnology different than other technologies?
Cybertechnology, in particular, encompasses a wide range of computing and interactive communications devices that engage human beings through mediated features. Examples include:
- Social media networking
- Affective computing
- Augmented reality
- Virtual communities
- Content and blogging
- Mobile computing
- Computer games and online gaming
- e-Commerce and online shopping
- Telehealth & telemedicine
- Cyberbullying
- Epidemiological studies of Internet use and behavior
- Cyberporn
3) What does a cyberpsychologist do?
- A cyberpsychologist is someone who scientifically researches how cybertechnologies (see list above) influence our minds and our behavior.
- We use the insights from our research to help protect, nurture, and/or advance human-centeredness (instead of machine-centeredness) across human-machine touch points.
- Our research also aspires to understand the social, behavioral, and psychological impact of today's interactive technologies.
- Lastly, our research findings and ensuing analysis shed important light on noteworthy trends, ideas or risks worth attention in the context of human-machine relationships.
4) What are cyberethics?
Cyberethics refers to the moral implications of cybertechnologies. For a more expansive answer, howeer, please read my post here.

Answers for Media Psychology & more
1) What is media psychology?
Media psychology is the study of how our creation, consumption, and distribution of media — namely through mediated technologies — influences our mind and thus, our behavior.
2) What is interaction design?
- Broadly speaking, interaction design involves designing interfaces for technological products, namely at the level where humans and technology "meet" or interact.
- The general goal of interaction design is to facilitate seamless and graceful "technology touchpoints" so they are beautiful, emotive, functional, and easily fit into our everyday lives.
- The other side of the coin, however, is that despite its aesthetic presentations and best functional intentions, interaction designs also make technology (and its inner, computational parts and underpinnings) opaque.
- The latter point is key because interfaces, while simplifying processes or points of human-machine interaction, often prevent users from seeing the "guts of the machine" and, thus, limit/prevent users from having "full transparency" into the inner-workings of computational and automation machines.
3) What is social media psychology?
As a subset of media psychology, this discipline explores how our social media interactions can impact our identity, subjective wellbeing, and relationships with our social groups.
