About the Conference

The increase of the quantity and frequency of technology use in life has directly and indirectly changed the patterns of humans’ behaviors and interactions. Like a double-edged knife, technology gives both benefits as well as adverse effects to humans. Chances to have optimum performance in terms of volume, frequency, quality, and speed can be achieved. On the other hand, the pattern of interactions among individuals decreases along with the increase of the use of technology media for communication and recreation. This chance certainly affects the development of psychological attributes of every individual. Does the increase of quantity of achievements go in line with the increase of quality? Does the shifting of communication and recreation from face-to-face mode to virtual mode lead to behavioral changes in fulfilling a human’s basic needs? This conference is an event for researchers and academics in psychology, education, behavioral sciences, and technology to share with one another their knowledge and experiences in understanding how technology shapes the future of human life.
