Péter Nagy

Peter Nagy is a Ph.D candidate in Consumser Behavior at Corvinus University of Budapest. Throughout his Ph.D. studies, Peter always enthusiastically embraced interdisciplinary approaches in an attempt to better understand today’s societal changes and practices. This orientation is also reflected in his rather diverse academic background. Although he holds a degree in psychology, he has since been focusing more on other social sciences, including sociology, cultural anthropology and media theory. He has been particularly interested in computer game theories, like the individual and social aspects of online games. During his Ph.D. studies at Corvinus University of Budapest, Peter focused predominantly on  the implications of Cyberspace for human identity and developmental trajectories. Although Peter’s dissertation focuses mainly on the implications of virtual worlds for consumer behavior, his current research examines the role the Internet of Things plays in civic life. Individuals tend to form unique relationships with technological advancements, highlighting the importance of exploring human-technology interaction and the way it shapes communication patterns and users’ social lives in general. During his residency at Central European University, Peter focuses on the social implications of human-technology interaction with particular attention to the ways the Internet of Things affects individuals.
