Psychology of the 21st century: time for a new kind of psychology?

Abstract

In the 21st century, there is a growing recognition that traditional approaches to psychology may need to evolve to address the complex challenges of our modern world. The field of psychology has made significant advancements over the years, but as society changes, so too must the way we understand and approach mental health and well-being. Therefore, it is increasingly clear that traditional psychology, which primarily focuses on the study of mental processes and behaviors through observational and experimental methods, must expand its scope to include digital topics. This is due to the ubiquitous presence of digital technologies in modern life, which have a profound impact on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
