Abstract
Cyberpsychology deals with the question of the extent to which people interact with technologies, such as computers, and how this can lead to different types of behavior. It also investigates the extent to which behavior and one's own identity can change, depending on the current sphere of activity - either online or offline. Therefore, Cyberpsychology can be a powerful addition to the currently technical oriented Cyber Security. In addition, an overview is provided of what other universities and colleges in and outside Europe offer in the field of cyberpsychology in terms of modules.
To the end of the methodology module contents, learning outcomes and the final implementation are discussed. This includes a model with different phases like call for lecturers, preparing transcripts and presentations. Additionally, the European ECTS to hour ratio will be used to determine an appropriate number of working hours.
In conclusion, the design of the branch of cyberpsychology at universities is described as future-oriented and promising, while the development at other colleges and universities is undergoing similar changes. Although not necessarily in the field of cyberpsychology, the technical courses of study, and especially computer science, are increasingly oriented towards cyber security and the like.
