Internet Psychology : The Basics is a vital and fascinating introduction to the online world. The Internet's influence on contemporary society extends across every aspect of our personal and professional lives, but how has this altered us in psychological terms ? How are we to understand how the Internet can promote enormous amounts of caring and kindness to strangers and yet be the source of unremitting acts of terror ? This book, grounded in the latest cutting-edge research, enhances our understanding of how we, and our children, behave online.
It explores questions such as : Why does our self-control abandon us sometimes on the Internet ? Why does the Internet create a separate realm of social and personal relationships ? Are young people really as exposed and threatened on the web as people think ? Drawing on classic theories of human behaviour to shed fresh light on this central facet of modern life, Internet Psychology : The Basics is a vital and fascinating introduction to the subject and will appeal to students and general readers alike.
