Description
Summary:The study aims to examine the disturbing situations, and the emotions and thoughts of the participants while using instant messaging. Disturbing situations of the users in the group are violations of privacy, harassment, hurtful words and behaviors, and gender discrimination. The main reasons why users accept these situations are primarily various fears; another is the cultural structure they are in and the personal characteristics of the users.
