Facts & figures
As an emerging field of research within applied psychology, the Cyberpsychology Research Group (CRG) at The University of Sydney was established in 2017 as Australia’s first formal research team to investigate the impact of consumer technologies (such as smartphones, video games, social networking, wearable technology, VR and AI) on human behaviour.
We also work with industry partners to establish an evidence-base for digital solutions that aim to positively impact health outcomes.
An archive of selected CRG television and radio appearances can be found on our YouTube channel.
Our specific research looks at individual attitudes, cognition and behavioural outcomes arising from the use of personal and organisational digital technology. Research areas of focus include:
We are dedicated to training in the field of cyberpsychology and e-Health, offering a range of training opportunities for graduate and post-doctoral researchers.
If you are interested in the study of cyberpsychology and eHealth, our team teaches the following units for undergraduate students to enrol in as electives (pending availability of your enrolled degree course). We welcome existing University of Sydney undergraduate students as well as international exchange, or study abroad students:
BACH 3146 – Cyberpsychology & eHealth
Our team members regularly supervise small research projects for fourth year (honours year) students at The University of Sydney.
If you are interested in enrolling in an Honours year and want to complete a small research project in cyberpsychology or eHealth, please contact our team members directly to discuss your project ideas and to determine if we can accommodate supervising you.
Visit the profiles of our research leaders in the 'our people' section of this page to review our supervisor research areas and to contact a potential supervisor for your HDR program.
If you are interested in a career in Cyberpsychology or eHealth, why not consider undertaking a Higher Degree by Research (HDR) as a Masters or PhD candidate in a specific interest area?
Our team have supervised many Masters and PhD students to graduation in the areas of e-Mental Health, Serious Games, Online Counselling, Social Networking for Health and Behaviour change, to name but a few broad areas valued by industry, Government and research sectors.
If you are considering enrolling in a HDR program, please first speak with a potential supervisor about your proposed project and career goals.
Visit the profiles of our research leaders in the 'our people' section of this page to review our supervisor research areas and to contact a potential supervisor for your HDR program.
The CRG welcomes inquiries from potential post-doctoral researchers seeking Early Career Research (ECR) experience within our team. Please contact Associate Professor Andrew Campbell to discuss existing or future opportunities.
