Cyberspace Romance: The Psychology of Online Relationships (Paperback)
This book focuses on online relationships and specifically cyber-flirting; the authors examine how flirting offline can be transferred to an Internet setting, through their own empirical and theoretical research. The authors draw from psychoanalytic theory to provide a better understanding of cyber-flirting, online dating, and relationships on the Internet.
