Dr Kaye's Book: Issues and Debates in CyberPsychology
Released in January 2022
You can read a sample of the book, including the introduction and the beginning of Chapter 2.
This comprehensive and accessibly written book brings together in one place for the first time the wealth of debates within cyberpsychology. What is the difference between screen time and screen use, and why has one been pathologised while the other has not? Is social media really bad for well-being?
This book considers these issues and more, in depth, with clear, informed resolutions and conclusions no longer being mediated by jargon-filled articles or misrepresentative media headlines.
In this video, Dr Kaye introduces her book.
