The Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dun Laoghaire (IADT) is
pleased to announce two public events being held as part of the Innovation
Dublin 2012 festival. Both events are free, and examine human behaviour in
relation to technology, the Internet, and digital piracy.
The Psychology of New Media (7pm, 24th October 2012, Room A019, Atrium
Building)
The technologies we use influence our behaviour, sometimes in unusual and
unexpected ways. Staff and postgraduate students in IADT examine many
aspects of the psychology of new media, and this lecture presents
highlights of their recent research. In particular, this event will focus
on topics such as social networking, the use of artificial intelligence in
customer service and therapy, using the Internet to search for medical
information, online fraud and security, and the psychology of online dating.
Digital Piracy & Psychology (5pm, 26th October 2012, Room A019, Atrium
Building)
There are many types of cybercrime but digital piracy is relatively unusual
as its perpetrators rarely see themselves as criminals. As a result, the
illegal copying and downloading of video, music and software is very
common. This talk examines the psychology behind this offence, identifying
why users engage in this behaviour and why they frequently don't see it as
morally or legally problematic. The talk also uses psychological and
criminological theory and research to offer suggestions on how levels of
digital piracy might be reduced.
Further details on psychological research in IADT is available through
www.iadt.ie/ccta IADT also offer a number of full and part-time programmes
in psychology, including a BSc (Hons) in Applied Psychology, a MSc in
Cyberpsychology, and several accredited evening courses in subjects such as
Human-Computer Interaction, Internet Research Methods, Cyberpsychology,
Sport Psychology and Organisational Psychology. Further details on these
programmes is available from www.iadt.ie IADT is part of Innovation Dublin
2012, which takes place across Dublin from Oct 15th -26th. The festival
demonstrates Dublin’s capacity to inspire, interact and innovate. Further
details on Innovation Dublin events is available from
