Because cyberspace is a new realm for human interactions, it creates opportunities for new "species" of humans to evolve. There are a wide variety of unprecedented roles in the cyberworld - new jobs, avocations, and callings. Psychology can focus on the these unique people, such as lurkers, snerts, hackers, live-cam'ers, flamers, IRC ops, telecommuters, wizards, gods, and, of course, cyberologists... to name a few. What are their lives in cyberspace like? What are these people like? Understanding the social backgrounds, cognitive skills, and personality styles of these people are all components of cyberpsychology.
