dc.description.abstractThis study examined the relationship and difference between offline life and virtual environment social adaptation among Turkish Cypriots. A total of 113 male and female Turkish Cypriot Facebook users were surveyed using the modified Hacettepe Personality Inventory to measure their social adaptation. The results revealed a negative relationship between offline life and virtual environment social adaptation and a statistically significant difference. No gender difference was found in offline and online social adaptation. There was a significant association between the type of pictures participants prefer to upload and their perceived others self-evaluation. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
