CYBERPSYCHOLOGY BASIC CONCEPTS.

Catalog description

Cyberpsychology is a branch of psychology that studies the way people interact with technology and the impacts of technology on the way people feel, think, and behave both online and offline. This course provides a broad survey of the impacts of digital media (e.g., social media) on people's perception, learning, motivation, and decision making. Theories from neuroscience (e.g., large-scale networks), evolution (e.g., evolutionary mismatch), social (e.g., identity fusion), and health (e.g., anxiety) are incorporated for understanding the basic guiding principles of human behavior in the digital environment. Offered as PSYC 3357 and PSYC 5346 .
