Download or read book Chat Room Wind Ups written by Stuart McLean and published by Crombie Jardine Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04-23 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At any point in time there are six million people watching football, eight million having sex, 87 million watching TV and a staggering 112 million talking via online chat rooms. And what are all these people chatting about? Mainly football, TV and sex. In chat rooms you will find a wonderful mix of people from around the world - some are disgustingly rich whilst others are unimaginably poor, some can be irritatingly intelligent but most are so intellectually challenged that they dribble over their keyboards. This creates a fantastic arena for some amusing wind-ups - simply enter a chat room, make a few ridiculous comments and see who takes the bait. This hilarious book is the result of hours upon hours spent in chat rooms taking the mick out of the more gullible chatties (people who frequent chat rooms and other interactive sites) - those who believe everything they come across on the internet, no matter how bizarre. "e;Chatroom Wind-Ups"e; is split into two parts. The first deals with chat rooms whilst the second deals with that other internet phenomenon - sites where you can pose a question and anyone who wants to can submit an answer. Another great opportunity for some fun!

Download or read book Oxford Handbook of Internet Psychology written by Adam Joinson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-02-12 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over one billion people use the Internet globally. Psychologists are beginning to understand what people do online, and the impact being online has on behaviour. It's making us re-think many of our existing assumptions about what it means to be a social being. For instance, if we can talk, flirt, meet people and fall in love online, this challenges many of psychology's theories that intimacy or understanding requires physical co-presence. "The Oxford Handbook of Internet Psychology" brings together many of the leading researchers in what can be termed 'Internet Psychology'. Though a very new area of research, it is growing at a phenomenal pace. In addition to well-studied areas of investigation, such as social identity theory, computer-mediated communication and virtual communities, the volume also includes chapters on topics as diverse as deception and misrepresentation, attitude change and persuasion online, Internet addiction, online relationships, privacy and trust, health and leisure use of the Internet, and the nature of interactivity. With over 30 chapters written by experts in the field, the range and depth of coverage is unequalled, and serves to define this emerging area of research. Uniquely, this content is supported by an entire section covering the use of the Internet as a research tool, including qualitative and quantitative methods, online survey design, personality testing, ethics, and technological and design issues. While it is likely to be a popular research resource to be 'dipped into', as a whole volume it is coherent and compelling enough to act as a single text book. "The Oxford Handbook of Internet Psychology" is the definitive text on this burgeoning field. It will be an essential resource for anyone interested in the psychological aspects of Internet use, or planning to conduct research using the 'net'.

Book excerpt: In the past two decades, the Internet has come to dominate every aspect of everyday life. This has been a huge change for many of us, and, for the younger generation - born into this situation - there has been no other way of living. How does this new way of life affect our health and happiness, our well-being? How does it affect our relationships, our friendships? Has the definition of friendship changed now that we have hundreds of friends on Facebook? Why is it that some people find it so hard to talk to people in their daily lives but find it so easy on the Internet? People spend so much time on the Internet - so what do we actually do on there? Why are some people so aggressive and others exceptionally helpful? Are these behaviors that we see from the same people offline? How do we take decisions online and which groups would we rather belong to online where nobody knows us, rather than revealing our true identity to the outside world? The new edition of 'The Social Net' provides a comprehensive understanding of the social aspects of the Internet. It contains chapters on topics such as identity manipulation, online romantic relationships, online decision making, the internet and aggression, and online prejudice and discrimination.
