Digitalization Dynamics in Urban African Psychology: A Theoretical Framework

Digitalization dynamics in urban African psychology have emerged as a critical area of study due to the increasing integration of digital technologies into various aspects of life and mental health services. This article employs a conceptual analysis approach to synthesize existing literature and theoretical frameworks from psychology, information technology, and sociology. The proposed framework highlights the need for culturally sensitive digital interventions that address these challenges while leveraging available resources effectively. Policy makers should prioritise investments in digital infrastructure and training programmes to enhance service delivery. Researchers are encouraged to conduct longitudinal studies examining long-term impacts of digitalization on psychological outcomes.
