This is the first book to look exclusively from at the use of MHapps from an applied psychosocial perspective. Much of the academic literature on MHapps in psychology focuses on the clinical efficacy of using apps (e.g., depression reduction as result of using a certain app) and will typically report on the use of randomised controlled trials (or a similar method) to illustrate the use of apps as a tool for improving a psychological condition. Therefore, the main benefit of this book is that it recognises the impact of apps from a social perspective and will aim to show how everyday forms of distress are embedded in the use of these apps and the broader set of relations that constitute people’s everyday lives. The content of this book will identify how an applied social perspective can offer insight into the power of apps to shape our sense of ourselves and of others. This book will be of use to educators and students in psychology, sociology, health studies, media studies andcultural studies.

The book introduces and critically reviews conceptual and empirical issues surrounding the topic of smartphone addiction. Smartphone addiction has been proposed as a candidate psychiatric disorder characterised by disordered, problematic, uncontrolled use of one’s phone or the content on it. There is now a literature of several thousand papers exploring the risks and consequences associated with smartphone addiction. This has led to calls for intervention in the media worldwide, including restrictions and bans on digital media. However, there are fundamental concerns about smartphone addiction and how it is defined, researched, and studied, which necessitates a pause for thought. This book explores several of these concerns: conceptualisation, measurement, methodology, and treatment, each requiring a comprehensive, integrated investigation. This multi-lens examination of the issues with smartphone addiction enables us to draw wide-reaching conclusions about the state of smartphone addiction and how these issues can be addressed. This is especially important in light of critical problems that are prevalent in behavioural sciences, such as concerns about the quality of measurement, the replication crisis, and the growing open science movement.

Because we retain our sense of being in our own body, although relocated to another place, when we feel technologically disembodied it is as if we have left our body behind, perhaps sitting in a train, a café, an armchair, or behind a familiar desk.

Online Resilience and Wellbeing in Young People
Holistic and Harm Reduction Approaches
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
446 kr
Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
This second volume of Online Resilience and Wellbeing in Young People explores online resilience and safety from a new perspective, by drawing extensively upon the youth voice. While “online safety” as a concept has now existed for well over ten years, the majority of policy and narrative is driven by preventative and adultist views of ensuring safety from harm. Underpinned by extensive empirical work, this book argues that safety, or freedom from harm, is not an achievable goal and we should refocus upon harm reduction and risk mitigation. Fundamental to this argument is that the youth voice clearly states that they will not disclose, or ask adults for support, because they do not believe they will get help or worse, will be punished as a result of disclosure. The research shows that professionals often bring their own digital value biases into safeguarding decisions, and feel that they should be white knights to young people, rather than listening to them and supporting them in a non-judgemental way. The book will be of great value to researchers and students as well as practitioners, teachers and parents interested in digital resilience and safeguarding, internet security and youth online behaviour and wellbeing.
