An excellent primer on the subject with an autoritative reference section which will direct your research
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2017
Format: PaperbackAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This Wiley text book offers a look for psychology or allied subject students, at the impact that the cyber world is known to have on our lives. With a very attractive layout and ample use of subheadings, the good sized business like font on bright white paper produces something that is very clear and readable.
The 37 pages of references at the back (out of a total of 247 pages, another 8 of which form a satisfactory subject index) not only give you every connection from the text but also let you know that this textbook is really a summary of the research work that has been done in these areas. In many ways there could be more detail, except that the authors are revealing that there îs still much work to be done in the sphere. If you are studying the subject, this book must be a prerequisite for your course. There are discussions of issues such as pornography, children's use of the internet, cyberbullying, online crime, online dating, games, gambling and issues of identity and addiction. This book may not have all the detail n all of these subjects but it does refer you to all the relevant research so you can read up for yourself. This volume also serves as a sort of dictionary for the subjects and directs you to all the original sources.
This book is a credit to its authors and whereas it won't be the only reading you need to do, it my be the only book you need to buy, because it will lead you to the primary journals and papers.

Excellent introduction and overview.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2017
Format: PaperbackAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This is a much-needed academic text for undergraduate and graduate psychology students, taking on the subject of the intersection between psychology and the many-tentacled internet in all its connective pain and glory. The book is approved by the BPS so is relevant to students and professionals in the UK. While it is a relatively slim volume, the authors have done their best to give a good, research-based overview of the many ways the internet impacts our lives and our emotional health. It is well referenced for futher study and is certainly a very good starting point for anyone wanting to dig into this subject and learn more.

Surely a pioneering read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2017
Format: PaperbackAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
Its great to read what is surely a pioneering read in an emerging field of psychological research findings, which I think is aimed at a more academic readership of research scholars and psychology students but which I believe will prove to be just as interesting to a popular readership, particularly anyone who has an interest in social media, online forums, the internet and life online, or perhaps an interest in those that do if they do not themselves.

The layout of the book is great, there are pages and pages of references, bibliography and supporting research citations, a vital resource for anyone considering crafting research projects in what the authors themselves acknowledge is a relatively speaking under researched field of psychology (most interested individuals, including some online forum moderators, I know have applied psychological knowledge or research from elsewhere, such as MBTI or personality matrices, or earlier research, depth psychology, behaviourism, even in one instance Goffman's conclusions about Asylums to online interaction). Chapters are accompanied by helpful discussion questions (which could be set as essay topics or give ideas about essay topics for students), suggested reading (specific sources corresponding to the topics in that chapter) and suggested activities, such as "Have you ever disguised aspects of your identity or pretended to be someone else online? If so, was this a positive or negative experience for you?".

I found the chapter on "Online Support and Health Care" to be particularly interesting, especially the chapter on E-Therapy, assessing the effectiveness of e-therapies and immersive virtual environments as aids to treatments, even should life online not expand or evolve beyond what it is at present it has formative potential and deterministic influence as it is and I personally think its a matter of time before medicine, therapy, police and social services will have to better exploit it as a resource.

One thing I would say, which I think was not mentioned in other reviews, is that while not shrinking from covering the more dubious and criminal applications or reality of internet technology (there are chapters on online sexual activities, internet infidelity, online deception, online crimes: scams, fraud and illegal downloads; online crimes: cyberharassment, Hate crimes and cyberwarfare; online crimes: Child pornography and paedophilia) it does aim for, and I think achieves, balance (there are also chapters on the "self" in cyberspace, some good material on Goffman here, online relationships, online dating, children's and teens' use of digital technologies, online education, leisure and entertainment, online gaming and gambling and the chapter I mentioned already on online support and health care).

There is the potential that I like more academic reads, style and pace of writing but I also particularly liked that there was the brief contents page and then an expanded contents complete with subheadings, so you have Chapter 2: The "Self" in Cyberspace and then the subheadings 2.1 Defining the "self"; 2.2 The self in cyberspace; 2.3 Disembodied selves in cyberspace and so forth. There surely will be more books of this kind in future and I think readers can only hope that they will be as good as this one. Recommended.

If you've read any other books on the psychology of online behaviour, such as Love Online (to mention one superior more pop psychology read), and liked them, then dont hesitate to get a copy of this today.

Not a pop psychology book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 January 2019
Format: PaperbackAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This is an impressive undergraduate level text which may appeal to ambitious laypeople and A level students. It is not a pop psychology book.

I found it fascinating and very current. This is an emerging field of tremendous significance on a global level and is worth a few evenings if you want to be well informed.

Format: PaperbackAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
An interesting and comprehensive title. As an aspiring infrastructure architect looking to move into cyber security, I found this well-researched and accessibly written for professionals already in the field. An important text for anyone interested in the welfare and future of information security as a whole.
