Internet Psychology by Yair Amichai-Hamburger

Internet Psychology: The Basics draws on classic psychological theories to shed fresh light on both the negative and positive aspects of the online world and how it has affected contemporary society.

‘This outstanding book presents an excellent overview of the psychology of the internet, analysing how our notions of anonymity, exposure, control, accessibility and equality will be revolutionalized in an on-line environmentIt explains how the digital age will force us to re-think our conventional ideas about romance, relationships, aggression, parenting and group behaviour. The book will be of interest to researchers, students and practitioners not only in psychology, but in all related disciplines as well where the internet changed the way we relate to each other.' - Joseph Paul Forgas, AM, DPhil, DSc. (Oxford), FASSA, Scientia Professor of Psychology, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia

'In this important new book Yair Amichai-Hamburger demonstrates his encyclopedic knowledge of this fascinating field of modern psychology. With the same deft touch he takes the reader through a bewildering range of topics – illustrating the good (therapy, romance, and volunteering), the bad (violence) and the ugly (hate forums) – that illustrates the all-encompassing effect of the internet on our daily lives.' - Miles Hewstone, Professor of Social Psychology & Public Policy, University of Oxford
