Psych 101-52 reviewing classmates contribution
I thought that the reference in pop culture section in this article added by kevinhilke was a very interesting contribution to make. It's a good way to have people relate to what they are reading through pop culture. Chase6605 (talk) 04:28, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Aestrada000 Article Comments
I looked at your article cyberpsychology and was a little iffy about your source for it. Most of the other people have used journals or articles to cite their additions. Maybe you could try and find a better source for it.Aestrada000 (talk) 01:32, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

The article is missing major parts and focuses too much on social networking effects
So by now the article's just about "Social networking and cyberpsychological behavior" & "Psychotherapy in Cyberspace".

It's really missing much. For example:
 * psychological effects of Internet use in general (and not in terms of computer mediated social networking/..)
 * the psychological effects of highly realistic virtual environments: virtual reality and virtual worlds (such as Occulus Rift) and other realistic representations..
 * ..and how they a) alter perception and b) how the perception is altered by the virtuality and its implications (such as realistically displaying unrealistic scenarios)
 * the psychological aspects of identity formation on the Internet
 * the psychological phenomenon of deindividuation and psychological effects of anonymity and knowing to have everything you do on the internet being stored for years by the NSA (Hawthorne effect)
 * Internet-related behaviour patterns such as building up image-archives..
 * ..or creating memes (or other kind of digital products)..
 * ..or spreading them on the net
 * the psychological effects (and underpinnings) of the externalization of memory / Exocortex and cognitive augmentation
 * psychological aspects of filter bubbles
 * implications / psychological effects of augmented reality / mixed reality and their respective potential and existing applications - for example: what are the psychological effects of having tons (or special kinds) of information overlayed onto reality via augmented reality?
 * potentials / pragmatic implementations for the indentification of archetypes and emergent psychological patterns via data-analysis

I just think the article is really missing out on important subjects which makes it seem as if it's all about the effects social media usage.

Also there's now the Category:Cyberpsychology - please help with filling it (and also integrate the subjects found there in the article).

The 'cyber' in cyberpsychology does not come from 'cyberspace'...
...it comes from 'cybernetics'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt3942 (talk • contribs) 09:17, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Cyberspace?
"Cyber comes from the word cyberspace, the study of the operation of control and communication; psychology is the study of the mind and behavior."

The introductory paragraph implies that cyberspace is "the study of the operation of control and communication." Since when? This makes no sense to me. Please consider a rewrite. --1000Faces (talk) 03:20, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Bias?
Does this article need a POV tag? This article seems to focus on potential negative aspects of social media use, rather than positive aspects, and often does so in a way that is not supported by reliable sources. Do other people get the same impression, or is that just me? ParticipantObserver (talk) 17:47, 25 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think that the article has multiple issues arising from its drawing upon primary sources in order to support its conclusions rather than providing an overview of what cyberpsychology is. I have added the multiple issues template in regard to the lead as well as the use of original research. Dawkin Verbier (talk) 03:57, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Sources need verification
I have checked a few sources in this article today, and so far none of them have fully matched the claims made in this article. It would be helpful if someone else could verify some of the remaining sources, and ensure that the text in this article is not original research. Thanks! ParticipantObserver (talk) 18:10, 25 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Late to this by over two years, but I observed this as well. For example, many of the citations in the Overview did not back up the statements that were being made. I've attempted to remediate this in an edit I did on 4 February 2024, but it seems that this issue is prominent through most of the article. I'll continue to try to pull through these citations to review what statements are being made and if the claims are backed up, trying to reformat where needed to help build credence to the claims.

 * Posting here for the future and discussion capabilities. As ParticipantObserver mentioned in 2022, many of the sources and claims in the article were unfounded and presented exploratory research or author perception from the research as peer reviewed and established truths.
 * In the edit during 3 Feb 2024, I've attempted to add further information regarding Cyberpsychology and create a single flow. The previous Overview section seemed to have been multiple sentences that somewhat contridicted themselves. As well, the information sourced research, but did not align the statements with what the research was claiming. ForrestCyber (talk) 16:43, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Posting further at this time, the overview is blatantly taking the information from the source verbatium. I'm looking at revising the overview/lead to include multiple sources and not be word for word of the source it provides. ForrestCyber (talk) 02:38, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
