Psychological Factors Associated with Online Friendship in Adolescents: A Systematic Literature Review
Abstract
For decades, social research has focused on exploring the fundamental characteristics and qualities of face-to-face friendships. However, many friendships also occur online today. Therefore, questions related with psychological effects of online friendships on adolescents and the reason why adolescents are turning to online friendships, are becoming increasingly important and the answers to these questions are also crucial for the mental health of adolescents. Thus, this study aimed to review the literature on psychological factors related to online friendship in adolescents. A search was conducted using the English keywords "e-friendship", "virtual friendship", "online friendship" and "online relationship" without any year limit, in seven databases, including PubMed, Sage Journals, Science Direct, Scopus, Springer Link, Taylor & Francis, and Wiley Online Library. 10 studies, with participants aged between 10 and 20, met the inclusion criteria. According to the results obtained from these studies, positive attitudes towards online friendships, feeling of loneliness, and negative experiences in family and peer relationships motivated adolescents to engage in online friendships. Regarding psychological factors related to online friendship, the study observed that online friendships had both positive effects (psychological need satisfaction, life satisfaction) and negative effects (loneliness, negative emotions, jealousy, low well-being) on adolescents' mental health.
