This comprehensive Research Handbook provides an overview of the central concepts and ethical considerations of cyberpsychology. Presenting a holistic exploration of the discipline, it moves beyond relational and psychological issues to examine a wide range of topics from leisure and entertainment to education and the workplace.Leading experts discuss the different psychological features of cyberspace such as online consumerism, identity development, relationship maintenance and online behaviours. The Handbook is an invaluable resource for understanding the breadth of cyberpsychology, including theoretical frameworks, research methodologies and contemporary issues. Chapters delve into key concerns, covering gaming, social media, cybercrime and cyberpathologies such as addiction and eating disorders. The Handbook concludes by investigating cybertherapy, assessing the impacts of online support and telehealth. It further reflects on future directions for research and practice in cyberpsychology.

Students and scholars of social psychology, science and information technology, digital sociology and communication studies will greatly benefit from this perceptive Research Handbook. Interdisciplinary in scope, it is also an enlightening read for practitioners in clinical psychology, media and marketing, as well as policymakers and advocates in cybersecurity and youth services.
