Rafael A. Calvo, PhD (2000) is Associate Professor at the University of Sydney’s and Director of the Software Engineering Group that focuses on the design of systems that support wellbeing in areas of mental health, medicine and education. He has a PhD in Artificial Intelligence applied to automatic document classification and has also worked at Carnegie Mellon University, Universidad Nacional de Rosario, and as a consultant for projects worldwide. Rafael is author of over 150 publications in the areas of affective computing, learning systems and web engineering, recipient of five teaching awards, and a Senior Member of IEEE. Rafael is Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing and of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies.
Christine Lisetti is faculty at Florida International University in the School of Computing and Information Sciences, where she directs the Affective Social Computing Laboratory. Lisetti conducts research in Affective Computing, a new field of computer science that she helped establish, and which lies at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in Computer Science, of emotion and personality theories in Psychology, and of social interaction in Communication. Lisetti's long-term research goal is to create digital and engaging socially intelligent agents that can interact naturally with humans via expressive multi-modalities in a variety of contexts involving socio-emotional content (e.g. health coach, social companion, serious/educational game). She is on the founding Editorial Board of the IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing. She won the National Institute of Health Individual Research Award, the AAAI Nils Nilsson Award for integrating Technology, and the AAAI Technical Innovation Award from the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (with Prof. R. Murphy). She has published numerous research articles, and has been key note speaker at international conferences, including the Affective Computing and Intelligent Interactions International Conference. Lisetti has received research grants from federal agencies both in Europe and in the USA, such as the European Commission (EC), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institute of Health (NIH), NASA Ames, US Army STRICOM, the Office of Naval Research (ONR); as well as from industry such as Intel, Microsoft, STMicroelectronics. She also regularly serves as a research expert for the National Science Foundation (USA), for the “Agence Nationale de la Recherche” (FRANCE), for the “Fonds de Recherche sur la Nature et les Technologies” (CANADA), and for the European Commission (BELGIUM).

Abstract
This chapter is from the forthcoming The Oxford Handbook of Affective Computing edited by Rafael Calvo, Sidney K. D'Mello, Jonathan Gratch, and Arvid Kappas. Cyberpsychology is a recent branch of psychology whose main research objects are the processes of change induced by new technologies. Some of these processes are related to and involve a variety of affective processes. The discipline’s overlaps with affective computing and human–computer interaction in general are significant, yet its psychological origins suggest that the research communities have somewhat different focuses. This chapter reviews their histories and discusses the similarities and differences that are currently found in the different bodies of literature. The authors focus in particular on how technologies can be used to help people change behavior in both clinical situations (cybertherapy) and in personal development (positive technology/computing and smart health).
