Chapter 17 – Young People and the Internet<\/h1>\n\n\n

Developmental psychology examines the areas of cognitive, physical, and language development, alongside social and emotional development in young people. This chapter presents these developmental areas concerning a young person’s interaction with the Internet. Technology offers entertainment and communication while cognitively and educationally providing an outlet for critical thinking and creativity; however it also exposes young people to some risks. This chapter will focus on the risk of cyberbullying, while other risks are examined in Chapters 5, 10, and 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
