The aim of the article is to postulate introducing and developing positive cyberpsychology (PCyb) as a subdiscipline of cyberpsychology, which emerges at the intersection of cyberpsychology, positive psychology, and well-being informed design, and focuses on studying determinants of human well-being through interactions with and technology. The article presents the rationale for considering the emergence of PCyb based on the importance of research on the positive transformation of people in the era of progressive digitalization and cyborgization, and the growing partnership of cyberpsychology, positive psychology, and well-being informed design in the form of paradigms and ongoing research. Moreover, it highlights the need to reframe cyberpsychology dominated by the study of the "dark side" of technology and the need to integrate and increase the "visibility" of research results on the beneficial effects of technology. The article also accentuates the opening perspective of a more in-depth analysis of the positive transformation process than the one existing within the well-being informed design and underlines a broader plan of innovation use than is taken into account in cyberpsychology and positive psychology. Lastly, it discusses the use of the results of research conducted within PCyb in the design of new technologies, consulting, and education, as well as the possibility of strengthening the voice of psychologists in the debate about the future of humans functioning in the constantly changing technosphere.
本文的目的是提出将积极网络心理学(PCyb)作为网络心理学的一个子学科来引入和发展,它出现在网络心理学、积极心理学和福祉导向设计的交叉点,专注于通过人与技术的互动来研究人类福祉的决定因素。本文基于在数字化和半机械人化进程中对人的积极转变研究的重要性,以及网络心理学、积极心理学和福祉导向设计以范式和正在进行的研究形式日益增长的伙伴关系,阐述了考虑PCyb出现的基本原理。此外,它强调了重新构建以技术“阴暗面”研究为主导的网络心理学的必要性,以及整合和提高关于技术有益影响的研究结果的“可见性”的必要性。本文还强调了比福祉导向设计中现有的对积极转变过程进行更深入分析的开放视角,并强调了比网络心理学和积极心理学所考虑的更广泛的创新应用计划。最后,它讨论了在新技术设计、咨询和教育中使用PCyb研究结果的情况,以及在关于人类在不断变化的技术圈中未来功能的辩论中加强心理学家声音的可能性。
