About this course
A digitalized world calls for digitalized research methods. In this lab, students will explore and try their hand at psychological research that utilizes the methodological tools of Cyberpsychology. We will review scholarly research exploring online phenomena and special considerations for technology-based research. Students will have the opportunity to conduct original research using techniques such as:
- Virtual and Augmented Reality environments (and their function for research and treatment purposes)
- Web and app-based experimental methods
- Cyber ethnography of online communities
- Meme and trend analysis on social media
- Integrating physiological measures and digital environments
