Congratulations to Valērijs Dombrovskis on the successful defence of his doctoral thesis and his significant contribution to cyberpsychology.
RISEBA is proud to announce that Valērijs Dombrovskis has successfully defended his doctoral thesis, exploring the processes through which digital natives form and develop their digital identities. In his research, he reveals how three essential elements – self-representation, self-presence, and immersion – interact within digital environments and together shape the unique dynamics of digital experience.
His doctoral work introduces a new model of digital identity development, demonstrating that digital platforms are not merely tools for reflecting personal identity but also actively transform the structure of the modern self, influencing how individuals think, feel, and perceive themselves.
The findings make a significant contribution to the field of cyberpsychology, offering fresh insight into how digital environments affect user behaviour, self-experience, and psychological development. This research represents a valuable contribution both academically and practically, deepening our understanding of digital identity in a rapidly evolving technological era.
We warmly congratulate Valērijs Dombrovskis on this remarkable achievement and the successful defence of his doctoral thesis!
