July Meetup

The Talk/ Discussion:

Mix pyschology with cyber space!
What do you get?

The dawning of a new Millennium and we've yet to catch on.
Information, communication, and social networking tools bring a new era. Technology and communication touches each of us. There's changes in human cognition, emotion and behaviour afoot.

Psychology has come to focus on modern-day issues, violence, substance abuse, "online addictions" in cyber space?

And also there’s the timeless concerns of all people. Relationships, group processes, organizational and collective behaviour..

Entire new lifestyles are emerging. New ways of behaving.

Blogs, tele-health diagnosis and distance learning, computer aided designs.

Websites have become part of human experience.
(With thanks to Dr Micheal Fenishel)

Cyber psych is a subset of many other sets which for brevity we can call human behaviour. I shall be talking about Active Curiosity, which is different from prejudiced enquiry, that can lead to miscarriages of justice.

About the speaker Trine Moore:


I’m applying to do research at oxford university into international relations and global psycho dynamics, some would call it political science. As a scientist my interest is human dynamics and world trends, as a person I’m interested in the Forces which shape peoples lives..."

    Unfortunately I'm working away in Wales Monday - Friday, so I won't be able to make it. I look forward to attending future meets though.
