Hi again, Ipri,
I apologize that my answer was not what you were looking for.. I
will try again to provide you with more books, forums and other
publications. It's just hard when you're not yet a researcher or
getting thanked or paid for anything you do (hope google reads
THIS)... I often times can't leave the most thorough answer that I
would like to, because I have people who WILL compensate me for my
work. But since no one else will help you.. here is some more to
answer your question:
Internet Psychology Forums:
http://www.shpm.com/topics/internet.html
The above are articles posted by Self Help Magazine, with online
discussion forums. Topics here are Cyber Love, Internet Sexuality,
and Crossing the Line, On Line. It goes hand in hand with the other
shpm.com link I gave you.
Here's a very nice discussion board by Ernest Wolfe, with many people
(and social psychologists) talking about how people can get so wrapped
up in the Internet that they spend hours online (sounds like me!! :)):
