What are cyber-relationships? They are not only romantic relationships, but also normal relationships between friends and family. Cyber ​​relationship addiction occurs when an individual becomes more focused on their virtual life in social networking sites, texting, and chat rooms, to the point that their real-life relationships with family and friends are compromised in favor of the online ones. The main reason is that we all use cell phones, laptops, tablets, etc., to cultivate our friendships and relationships with others (Bargh and Mckenna, 575). We need to ask ourselves, “Have we been too caught up in online relationships that we have failed to nurture our face-to-face relationships in real life?” In today's world, it's not uncommon to find a couple or family sitting in a restaurant, focused on their mobile devices rather than the person in front of them. While it is true that multifunctional devices such as mobile phones have proven to be indispensable to some extent, they may have had a negative impact on their users. What is the extent of dependence on computer relationships today? What demographics are usually affected by this addiction? What factors influence why people focus more on cyber relationships than real-life ones? With the help of relevant academic sources, these questions will be answered in this literature review. The addiction to cyber relationships has reached such an extent that people have become less empathetic towards others due to their bizarre use of their mobile devices for hundreds of hours. Cross' book says that in May 2010, a study conducted by the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan showed that feelings of empathy have significantly decreased among college students... middle of paper... ..some cyber-relationships formed online have actually been transported and introduced into their real life, traditional face-to-face social interaction (580). Other research has shown that there are some factors that influence the addiction to cyber relationships, mainly a person's electronic personality, the occurrence of cyberbullying caused by the anonymity of the Internet, as well as increased communication power. It should be noted that Aboujaoude and Lambert do not have more detailed results that would otherwise make their sources more reliable. Chatfield and Cross' reports are supported by their investigations, but may be subject to instrument decay because they do not state the methods used to obtain the results. Furthermore, some of their research was conducted in specific contexts, and should instead be carried out in a natural context to obtain a wider variety of results..
