La solitudine digitale: un disagio che genera mostri disadattati e narcisisti

Oggi la #tecnologia #digitale è onnipresente e caratterizza ormai la nostra vita. Senza #computer, #smartphone, tablet e #Internet ci sentiamo perduti.

La Rete diventa, in tal senso, uno #spazio #psicologico in cui proiettare vissuti e fantasie, che facilmente prevaricano sulla vita reale assorbendo l’individuo.

Vediamo insieme perché e cosa fare per proteggerci.

One for #technology / #nostalgia fans....

Coming home from the Apple store where I left my wounded MacBook, only to plug in my last laptop (AKA "paperweight") and find it working well despite a fried component, death screens, and last rites. Christmas miracle?!

And then a discussion of the joys of typewriters, punch-cards, thermal paper and other durable tools of the past. So this (enjoy!):

Relevant to nothing - or everything. For sure a good example of my mantra: "Context and Perspective". This on the trends within #AI and #SocialMedia in particular.

An #introduction for here these parts in Mastodon Land.

Leading a small life - nature, community, local work - like Thoreau but with FTTP to my new build :pensive_party_blob:

Letting the beauty I love be what I do at the junction of technology and contemplative psychology.

Relevant to #socialmedia & #Cyberpsychology - behavioral, & communication preferences in media/devices.

'Vintage' now but still a reminder to look at "context & perspective".

Research guru Larry Rosen looked at preferred media & devices across several generations. (Today there are a few more choices, e.g., 'streaming' vs. "TV".)

& I did research/training in ethical & effective "distance work', before Zoom! (or FB)

Fascinating (not fun) to watch now. #psychology

I am interested in digital bystander intervention

While doing a PhD/PostDoc I worked for a company where we built a chatbot to help people document & report workplace harassment

I became interested in why witnesses don't report & what can be done to encourage & support them

#introduction

Saw this come across my Trunk... Masto-Feed.. oh.. Timeline (I see it now). Anyway, thought I would properly intro myself.

I am a cybersec researcher and operations specialist. I've been in this space for 20 years (+/-). Most of that time has been in blue/purple team environments as a mission director.

Over the last half-decade, I have focused more on developing new ways to understand, visualize, communicate, and mitigate threat through a process called Threat-Based CyberSecurity (TBCS). Further, I have recently started research into the concepts of cyber-deception, deception tech, and deception strategies.

I have had a long-standing passion for cyberpsychology specifically focusing on cyber-victimology as well as understanding the motives, decision-making methods, and cognitive aspects of criminals in digital space.

I certainly look forward to building a network of like-minded individuals who seek to keep cyber-space as safe as possible.

Che cos’è la Psicologia del Digitale?
Sicuramente non è vedere i propri pazienti online (quella è un’altra roba), ed è molto di più del Web Marketing.
In questo articolo inizio a porre le basi per chiarire un po’ la questione, tra confusioni e fraintendimenti. #psicologia #cyberpsychology
