The rapid advancements in technology, and our increasing interaction with it, have key implications for the field of psychology.

The Psychology of Technology brings together research from different subdisciplines across psychology to address the ways in which technology and Big Data are changing how psychological research is conducted. It also examines how technology allows us to better understand human psychology. This text showcases cutting-edge research at the intersection of psychology and technology to provide an outlook into the future of psychological research in a tech-enabled world. The growing capabilities and reach of technology show no signs of abating, so it is critically important that psychology understand it and harness it effectively and ethically.

Chapters offer fascinating and novel insights about the human condition using digital technologies as a window into human psychology, highlight the opportunities and challenges people face interacting with digital tech, and address the consequences of technology for individuals and societies. The intricacies of human-machine interaction, analyses of digital footprints, and "big data" approaches are investigated in detail.
