How does the human mind cope as we become increasingly dependent on an ever-evolving Cyberspace?

Dr. Mary Aiken, a pioneering expert in cyberpsychology and Chair of the Cyberpsychology Department at Capitol Technology University, explores the intersection between psychology and technology to help us better understand human behavior and develop cognitive resilience in Cyberspace.

She examines how maladaptive tech habits affect people’s well-being, why understanding these patterns is critical, and how cyberpsychology can foster healthier, sustainable behaviors in Cyberspace. Dr. Aiken also highlights social engineering being at the heart of most cyberattacks, with cybercriminals targeting individuals’ psychological vulnerabilities, and emphasizes the need to carefully analyze messages to identify potential threats.
