cyberpsychology

Cyberpsychology (also known as Internet psychology, web psychology, or digital psychology) is a scientific inter-disciplinary domain that focuses on the psychological phenomena which emerge as a result of the human interaction with digital technology, particularly the Internet.'''''' Cyberpsychology is a field that explores the psychological phenomena associated with cyberspace which includes study of human behaviour, emotions in online environments like social media, virtual reality and many more gaming platforms. Cyberpsychology also interacts with the areas like neuroscience, sociology and media studies that offers insights into how digital tool shape individual and collective experiences.

==Overview== Cyberpsychology is a broadly used term for inter-disciplinary research that commonly describes how humans interact with others over technology, how human behavior and psychological states are affected by technology, and how technology can be optimally developed for human needs. While not explicitly defined as cyberpsychology, previous research into the impacts of virtual reality on human behavior has been identified by cyberpsychologists and leveraged to guide the parameters of research areas. The importance of cyberpsychology as an independent and defined field from existing studies has been proposed by researchers such as Bruno Emond and Robert L West, suggesting the field should include cognitive modeling.
