Key topics and their interconnections in Bulgarian cyberpsychology research

Summary/Abstract: Given the increasing importance of cyberpsychology, the present work extracts key topics in Bulgarian cyberpsychology research, analyses their distribution over time, and studies the number and strength of their interconnections. Three saturation peaks are identified, corresponding to significant technology-related societal events: a boom of online social networks (2011), increased interest in public mental health (2017), and a major COVID-19-induced offline-to-online transition in all areas of life (2021). Two major topical networks emerge: one links cyber-bullying-and-victimization to young people and mental health, while the other connects personality, self-presentation, social networks, and virtual identity. The findings facilitate the identification of future development directions for Bulgarian cyberpsychology research.
