ULOGA PSIHOLOGIJE U UNAPREĐENJU CYBER SIGURNOSTI

Inspiracija za rad i problem (i) koji se radom oslovljava (ju): Online okruženje je znacajan cinilac svakodnevnog ponasanja i aktivnosti pojedinaca i organizacija u savremenom ljudskom drustvu. Pojava naglasenog posredovanja u komunikaciji povecava rizike i razvija negativna iskustva sa kojima se susrecu korisnici, posebno mladi. U tom smislu online okruženje znacajno doprinosi pojavi kriminalnog i nasilnog ponasanja (npr. uznemiravanje, seksualno iskoristavanje, prevare, hakovanje). Stoga je veoma bitna uloga psihologije u unapređenju cyber sigurnosti. Ciljevi rada (naucni i /ili drustveni): Naucni cilj ovog istraživanja je da ostvari saznanje o uzrocno-posljedicnom odnosu pojava online komunikacije i devijantnih, ukljucujuci i kriminalne oblike ponasanja. Drustveni cilj je da istraživanja svojim rezultatima doprinesu razumijevanju ljudskog ponasanja u virtualnom prostoru, pri cemu psihologija istražuje i proucava promjene u ponasanju na individualnom i kolektivnom nivou. Metodologija/Dizajn: U istraživanju metodoloski pristup je zasnovan na shvatanjima savremene socijalne psihologije. Ogranicenja istraživanja/rada: Imajuci u vidu da informaticki strucnjaci i psiholozi sve vise zajedno djeluju u oblasti interakcije pojedinca sa racunarom, cyber psihologija znacajnije je polje istraživanja. Ipak, zagovornici i strucnjaci u oblasti cyber psihologije i dalje se suocavaju sa problemima multidisciplinarnosti i transdisciplinarnosti (npr. Kibernetika-racunari). Naucnici iz razlicitih disciplina gledaju na iste pojave sa razlicitih perspektiva, te se ponekad njihovo shvatanje i jezik razlikuje toliko da je tesko postici optimalnu i prihvatljivu saglasnost. Rezultati/Nalazi: Na osnovu dosadasnjih rezultata istraživanja i proucavanja naucno-saznajnog fonda, evidentan je zabrinjavajuci porast cyber kriminala u svijetu, sto potvrđuje i cinjenica da je nesto manje od oko 2/3 populacije postalo žrtva nekog od oblika cyber kriminala. Generalni zakljucak: Razumijevanjem uticaja savremenih tehnologija na ljudsko ponasanje u virtualnom prostoru psihologija je utvrdila znacajne promjene u ponasanju na individualnom i kolektivnom nivou. Opravdanost istraživanja/rada: Uloga Cyber psihologije je znacajno polje istraživanja, koje se bavi psiholoskim uticajima i implikacijama kompjuterskih i online tehnologija na pojavu raznih i raznovrsnih oblika devijantnog ponasanja. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- THE ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGY IN ENHANCING CYBERSECURITY Inspiration behind the paper and the issue (s) it addresses: The online environment is a significant factor which takes part in the daily behavior and activities of individuals and organizations in the modern human society. The emergence of online communication increases risks and develops experiences of negative encounters among users, especially young people. In this regard, the online environment significantly contributes to a serious emergence of criminal and violent behavior (eg harassment, sexual exploitation, fraud, hacking). Therefore, the role of psycho-logy in enhancing cybersecurity is very important. Research objectives (scientific and/or social): The scientific aim of this research is to examine the causal link between online communication and deviant, including criminal forms of behavior. The social aim of the results of this research is to contribute to the understanding of human behavior in a virtual space, whereby psychology explores and studies the changes in behavior at the individual and collective levels. Methodology/Design: The methodological approach in this research is based on perceptions of contemporary social psychology. Limitations of the research/paper: Given the fact that information technology experts and psychologists increased their mutual cooperation in the field of interaction of individuals with computers, however, cyberpsychology is a more significant field of research. Nevertheless, advocates and experts in cyberpsychology continue to face issues regarding multidisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity (eg. cybernetics-computers). Scientists from different disciplines look at the same phenomena from different perspectives, and sometimes their under-standing and language differs in a way that it is difficult to achieve an optimal and acceptable consent. Results/Findings: On the basis of results from previous research and of studying scientific and cognitive information, there is an alarming rise in cybercrime in the world, as confirmed by the fact that something under 2/3 of the population has become the victim of some type of cybercrime. General conclusion: Through understanding the influence of modern technologies on human behavior in the virtual space, psychology identified significant changes in behavior at individual and collective levels. Justification of the research/paper: The role of cyberpsychology is a significant field of research addressing the psychological impacts and implications of computer and online technologies on the emergence of various and diverse forms of deviant behavior.
