Defining Cyberpsychopathy : An Integrative Review.
Cyberpsychopathy represents a complex and context-dependent phenomenon that extends beyond traditional models of psychopathy. This review provides a foundational framework for its study and highlights the need for further empirical research, including the development of validated assessment tools tailored to digital behaviors. Understanding the mechanisms behind cyberpsychopathy is essential for designing effective interventions, informing platform moderation policies, and safeguarding user well-being in increasingly digital societies.
