Decreased Ethical Sensitivity in the Virtual World as a Facilitating Factor for Internet Addiction
Journal Title: Psikiyatride Guncel Yaklasimlar - Current Approaches in Psychiatry - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
This article discusses the relationship between internet addiction, which is a widespread problem, and ethical action and sensitivity changes that are expected to arise due to usage of internet and virtual world. It is aimed to demonstrate that moral development stages and ethical actions can change in the light of evaluation of differentiation of communication in the internet and virtual world from the actual social life. Furthermore, factors such as uncontrolled action and facilitation of accessibility to pleasure have been theoretically shown to facilitate internet dependency.
