Book Review: Cyberpsychology - An Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction

Contemporary developments in technology have changed our daily practices and located information and communication technologies in the center of our daily lives. Borders between the computer and human are somewhat blurred due to constant technological changes, which are hard to keep up with. Yet, interacting with computers is unavoidable for the 21st-century individuals. The term human-computer interaction (HCI) is coined to address these conditions. Interacting with computers helps people in several ways, but also affects individuals' psychological states and behaviors. In this regard, new psychology of the modern age -i.e., cyberpsychology- becomes more important. Thus, it is crucial to understand the psychology of the HCI in such a technology centered world so that current perspectives and approaches regarding human performance can be improved better. Cyberpsychology can help to solve problems related to HCI and assist humans to develop their well-beings in the future.
