Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the relationship between cyberpsychology and media studies in the perspective of common research fields, main concepts and paradigms as well as analysis methods of selected phenomena related to the media sphere and cyberculture. Cyberpsychology is described in the article as a transdiscipline in the context of (new) media studies and media cultural studies. It has been also presented as a sub-discipline of media psychology and communication. Cyberpsychology represents “media-user based approaches”, because research on main types of media is conducted in relation to their impact on human behaviour. The features of new media, the transition to the interactive network media paradigm and immersive technological environments in the 1980s and 1990s require the use of psychological methods by media experts. Cyberpsychologists, on the other hand, are obliged to use media-based approaches in their research. Within the framework of cyberpsychology focused on the study of digital media user, the mainstream of theoretical and applied research has been distinguished. Its links with other sub-disciplines of psychology and the relevant direction of contemporary research on digital media and cyberculture 3.0 have been indicated.

网络心理学与媒体研究：当代研究方向和相互启发的来源*

文章旨在从共同的研究领域、主要概念和范式以及与媒体领域和网络文化相关的选定现象的分析方法的角度，介绍网络心理学与媒体研究之间的关系。文章将网络心理学描述为（新）媒体研究和媒体文化研究背景下的一门交叉学科。它也被视为媒体心理学和传播学的一个分支学科。网络心理学代表了 "基于媒体用户的方法"，因为对主要媒体类型的研究是根据它们对人类行为的影响进行的。20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代，新媒体的特点、向交互式网络媒体范式的过渡以及身临其境的技术环境，都要求媒体专家使用心理学方法。而网络心理学家则必须在研究中使用基于媒体的方法。在以数字媒体用户研究为重点的网络心理学框架内，理论和应用研究的主流已经分明。还指出了它与其他心理学分支学科的联系，以及当代数字媒体和网络文化 3.0 的相关研究方向。
