Rapid advances in information technology have profound implications
for human interaction, mental health, and the field of psychology
itself. Digital technologies increasingly impact nearly every
aspect of our lives, affecting not only our well being but also
changing the way we work, design policies, define morality, and even
the way we think. This book examines research from different
subdisciplines across psychology to address the ways in which
technology and Big Data provide a unique window into human cognition
and behavior. Every interaction with smartphones, computers and
tablets leaves a leaves a trace, a digital footprint that offers fresh
insights to psychologists studying the new frontiers of human
behavior. At the same time, the use of public information provided by
private citizens--social media postings, digital networks, datasets
and internet preferences—requires careful attention to ethical
considerations. An especially timely book in light of the COVID-19
pandemic, when so many people were forced to live online like never
before. Many of the changes, for individuals, workplaces, and
societies, will be long-lasting.
