Daniel B. le Roux

Over the past 10 years Dr Daniel le Roux has studied various dimensions of the interaction between humans and technology. His research emphasis falls on the cognitive and behavioural processes by which humans, both individually and collectively, adopt and adapt to technologies, and how this impacts their performance and well-being. His most recent research considers the potential impacts of “permanently online, permanently connected” living on mental well-being, with particular emphasis on attention distribution. He started and heads up the Cognition and Technology Research Group at Stellenbosch University which publishes in a wide range of academic domains including Information Systems, Psychology, Education and Economics.
