Description

As the use of digital technology increases, social interactions take place in virtual environments like social media platforms, online games, and virtual reality spaces. Examining social psychology in these environments shows how individuals think, feel, and behave when interacting through screens rather than face-to-face. Factors like anonymity, online identity, and group dynamics may strongly influence behavior, communication, and relationships in virtual settings. Studying social psychology in virtual environments may further reveal how digital spaces shape human interaction and social behavior in modern society.

Examining Social Psychology in Virtual Environments explores how digital technologies and virtual environments reshape foundational concepts in social psychology. It examines how technology affects human behavior, social relationships, and psychological well-being. This book covers topics such as cognitive science, chatbots, and education technology, and is a useful resource for psychologists, educators, engineers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
