Building a Career in Cyberpsychology offers an accessible introduction to the various ways that cyberpsychology can be applied to different types of careers. It is designed to support individuals who are interested in applying cyberpsychology subject knowledge within their career journeys.

From consumer insights, to cyber-defence, to digital strategy, this book explores how cyberpsychology can underpin issues, challenges and opportunities in these contexts. At the heart of all these careers is a critical understanding about how human factors can be understood and applied within digitally-mediated environments. Cyberpsychology pioneer Professor Linda K. Kaye, introduces readers to the fascinating field of cyberpsychology, and how our interactions with technology and the online world can help us understand the digitally-connected human experience. Each chapter provides a walk-through of different types of cyberpsychologically-informed careers, revealing the ways in which the digitally-connected human experience is fundamental to helping us flourish in a 21st century digitalised society.

As an evidence-based, practice-oriented guide, Building a Career in Cyberpsychology is essential reading for students and professionals considering starting or furthering their career using cyberpsychology.
