Zaheer Hussain serves as a Lecturer in Psychology within the Department of Life Sciences, focusing on behavioral addictions related to digital technologies. His research examines the psychological impacts of excessive technology use through rigorous empirical methodologies.
His primary research domains include:
- Behavioral Addictions (smartphone, social media, gaming)
- Cyberpsychology and digital behavior analysis
- Technology's impact on mental health and well-being
- Personality factors in technology overuse
- Clinical implications of digital addictions
Between 2015-2019, Hussain published 15 peer-reviewed articles establishing critical connections between technology engagement and psychological outcomes. His work demonstrates consistent patterns: problematic smartphone use correlates strongly with anxiety, narcissism, and depression; Facebook behaviors link to fear of missing out and self-esteem issues; and gaming disorder classification requires careful cultural and clinical consideration. Methodologically, he employs eye-tracking, large-scale surveys, and mixed-methods approaches to validate behavioral metrics and diagnostic criteria.
