A set of behaviors that people use when interacting with digital technologies such as the internet and social media. Psychologists study how these behaviors affect people’s interactions in society and their psychological state. This includes habits related to smartphone use, internet surfing, and interacting with digital platforms. These patterns are evident in the amount of time people spend in the digital world, as well as how digital presence affects social relationships. The psychological aspect of concern is whether digital interaction leads to a reduction in real interaction with people or causes social anxiety and isolation.
