Introduction  \nBeing social entities, people continue their lives by establishing relationships with other people. These relationship processes established by individuals are important for their healthy development. The corona virus disease, which started in China for the first time and has influenced the whole world in a short time, has led to a significant decrease in interpersonal interactions by creating immense anxiety and fear based on its rapid spread and high contagiousness.

The periods when the individual is not connected to the internet feel insignificant and the individual  \nexperiences withdrawal symptoms such as irritability and aggression which negatively affect the individual’s family, work, education and social life (Block, 2008; Ceyhan, 2008; Young, 2009) .
