Psychologie der Online- und Mobilkommunikation
edited by M. Appel, F. Hutmacher, C. Mengelkamp, J.-P. Stein & S. Weber (2023)
Offering a thorough yet low-threshold introduction to the psychology of online and mobile communication, this German-language textbook features 18 chapters on contemporary digital contexts and phenomena—e.g., social media, online dating, cyberbullying, fake news, virtual reality, and AI chatbots.
While being primarily aimed at students, it requires no expert knowledge and is therefore ideal for anyone who has as professional or private interest in the topic.
