Psychology is the logical investigation of the mind and its behavioral activities. Analysts are effectively engaged with contemplating and understanding mental cycles, cerebrum capacities, and conduct. The area of Psychology is considered as a "Hub Science" with solid associations with the clinical sciences, social sciences, education, and much more. Technology is the branch of knowledge concerned with the development and application of specialized tools, as well as their interactions with life, society, and the environment, drawing on areas such as mechanical engineering, applied science, and pure science. This study aims to shed light on the relationship between the field of psychology and technological progress nowadays. This paper also provides a detailed investigation of the effect of technology on the discipline of psychology.

COMMUNICATION As per the rapid development of technology, everything has changed their style and shape. However, some changes seem very positive but on the other side, it affects many valuable and intimacy-booster factors negatively. Keeping relationship alive with people through electronic means is not as much effective as the real face to face interaction is, because face to face communication will enable you to get more as compare to being engaged in wireless communication. Thus, the upcoming discussion will reveal all the shortcomings of technologies that affect communication pessimistically. It's well-known that communication plays a vital role in human being society because maintaining the relationship with family members, peers, relatives, and with all those who are close to us and touches our lives in one way or another is indispensable. Simply if we observe people in our community nearly half of them have access to some sort of technological means such as Smartphone, computers, tablets, iPods, and much more types of devices to use it for stable contacts instead of visiting and communicating closely and physically. According to Larry Rosen, virtual communication is not commendable like real world interactions. To see the enrichment and ubiquity of technological devices we are obliged to interact more with virtual friends than real-world people. As addiction, communication through electronic means takes more time than real-world communication even we know that it keep us in distance while not perceiving each other closely and intimately, despite of this, still publics; especially younger generations are using technological sources for communication and messages. And if we keep such a way of communication constant it will not let us interact personally. One study, conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation, found people ages 8 to 18 spent more time on media than on any other activity – at an average of 7.5 hours a day (Rideout, Foehr, & Roberts, 2010). It would have been a very good thing that people had considered physically existed communication essential and important. If they were aware that how much the real world communication is useful that may not have been engaged as much in non-natural ways of communication as they currently are. In 2010, a study proved that as internet use increased, time spent with family and friends decreased while 39% of Americans spend more time socializing online than face-to-face (Brown 2013). We may think as we are social by using electronic means for keeping relationship but according to Sherry Turkle psychologist: not engaging in real world communication is just a sip of communication because we cannot get comprehensive results from the virtual exchange of information.

Over the period of last two decades, digital technologies have reached about 50% of the developing world's population, revolutionizing society and advancing faster than any other innovation in human history. Technology can significantly increase inequality through evolved financial inclusion, trade accessibility, connectivity, and public service delivery. This study investigates how outdated technology has disappeared in the current day. Human attention is being drawn to fresh ideas created by modern technologies. The people of today rely more on contemporary technology than ever before. There is a decline in the use of traditional ways of communication that enhances togetherness. Additionally, artificial intelligence is attempting to supplant humans. Modern technology has been incorporated into every industry, including electronics, construction, farming, and home building. This research paper describes how the advancement of modern technology has caused individuals to become indolent and has wrecked today's world.

Technology has been integrated into many facets of our lives, including medicine, education, and socialization. This is true of the past, the present, and most likely, the future. As time goes on, our reliance on and usage of technology increases. This paper discusses how technology has been assimilated into our lives and the trend for it to continue to

Journal of Technology in Behavioral Science

It aims to help readers consider the social, psychological, cultural, biological, and other medical/health contexts of behavior. To achieve its goals, JTiBS has embraced a variety of methodologies (e.g., surveys and questionnaires, randomized controlled trials, direct observation, descriptive methods, laboratory and field experiments, economic cost analyses, project and program profiles, ethnography, evaluation and process improvement, and quantitative and qualitative approaches). All publications-but particularly the columns-serve as an international forum and repository for the exchange of ideas between professionals engaged in science, practice, policy, and education in a way that transcends geographical, cultural, disciplinary, and methodological boundaries. The columns include research in technology and behavioral sciences; new developments and resources in technology for behavioral science; telecompetency, evaluation and outcomes; policy, organizational, reimbursement, and legal factors; and technological innovation. They can also help JTiBS grow in submissions (> 100/year), downloads (35,000+ in 2019), and indexing with PubMed/Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, and other services.

Research traditions studying knowledge conceive of it differently and place boundaries between knowledge types in different places. A first challenge is elaborating a framework that distinguishes between the co-elaboration of knowledge types (cognitive, linguistic, social, technological…), yet shows their connections. A second challenge is distinguishing co-elaboration of knowledge from self and social regulation of knowledge elaboration. Knowing what knowledge you are regulating may facilitate knowledge regulation. Meeting the first challenge allows us to combine research from different traditions in order to broaden understanding. Meeting the second helps determine how to support the regulation of knowledge elaboration. As a first step towards meeting these challenges, we propose 1) the logical space of knowledge elaboration and its regulation and 2) a multi-theoretical, interdisciplinary model called Multi-grain collaborative knowledge construction that concerns how individuals and groups co-elaborate knowledge during group interactions. We instantiate this model with two illustrations (physics learning and collaborative game learning) and their corresponding logical spaces of elaboration and regulation. Results reveal how knowledge regulation occurs through action and not just verbalization, that regulation interventions are multifunctional, that meta knowledge about learning can help regulation, that knowledge acquired during development is more difficult to regulate. A roadmap is proposed for furthering the distinction between knowledge elaboration and regulation.

The digital revolution has changed, and continues to change, our world and our lives. Currently, major aspects of our lives have moved online due to the coronavirus pandemic, and social distancing has necessitated virtual togetherness. In a synopsis of 10 articles we present ample evidence that the use of digital technology may influence human brains and behavior in both negative and positive ways. For instance, brain imaging techniques show concrete morphological alterations in early childhood and during adolescence that are associated with intensive digital media use. Technology use apparently affects brain functions, for example visual perception, language, and cognition. Extensive studies could not confirm common concerns that excessive screen time is linked to mental health problems, or the deterioration of wellbeing. Nevertheless, it is important to use digital technology consciously, creatively, and sensibly to improve personal and professional relationships. Digital technolo...

Essentially, individual behavior, social networks, and government structures have, more frequently than not, changed for the better from technological change. Such change does not occur in a vacuum, of course, and “idea diffusion” and “blueprint copying” spread new, worthwhile inventions regionally and even globally, now at a more rapid pace than ever.
