Psychology of Cyberspace (from Curt Davis on learn-net@onelist.com)
----------------------------
The Psychology of Cyberspace is an online hypertext book created to explore
the psychological dimensions of environments created by computers and
online networks. It is intended as an evolving conceptual framework for understanding the various
psychological components of cyberspace and how people react to and behave within it.
    The online book has six sections. The first section is an exploration of
what makes cyberspace "psychological." The next three sections deal with
the individual's reaction to cyberspace. Section five is a discussion of
the research methods used and  finally, section six is the historical origin of the hypertext book.
