Background

Technology is transforming who we are and how we feel about ourselves. In the age of artificial intelligence, technologies play a central role in many life activities and they impact ways in which we see ourselves and others. The Self and Technology EU-6 project is grounded on social psychological theories on identity, self-determination and self-verification.

Goal

Self & Technology EU-6 project aims to analyze how emerging technologies affect the perception people have of themselves and their identities and how people in different countries differ from each other.
