  • The article focuses on the psychological and social aspects of cyberspace and on college students' attitudes and behavior regarding the Internet. The authors' hypothesis is that cyberspace can produce authentic happiness because it is a place where people can examine their strengths and virtues. Positive psychology in virtual reality and its relation to psychological well-being are discussed. Topics include the meaningful life, the development of human potential, and the creation of a Cyberspace Authentic-Happiness Scale.
