    Title :بررسی مفهوم خیانت اینترنتی و تأثیرات آن بر نهاد خانواده
    Abstract: 
    عصر اینترنت و فضای مجازی با سرعتی غیرقابل کنترل در حال پیشرفت و گسترش است و قطعاً تمامی مناطق جهان با اینترنت سروکار دارند و زندگی بدون آن مشکلات زیادی را به همراه خواهد داشت. اینترنت همچنین مسائل و مشکلاتی را برای نهاد ارزشمند خانواده ایجاد کرده است. یکی از این  مسائل خیانت اینترنتی است؛ که این مفهوم به روابط پنهانی یکی یا هر دوی زوجین خارج از بستر ازدواج با شخصی دیگر از طریق اینترنت و فضای مجازی می انجامد. پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی مفهوم خیانت اینترنتی و تأثیرات آن بر نهاد خانواده انجام شده است. با توجه به هدف پژوهش، روش تحقیق توصیفی است. نتایج این پژوهش نشان داد که خیانت اینترنتی موجب کاهش صمیمیت و به سردی گراییدن روابط زوجین و همچنین طلاق عاطفی و کاهش اعتماد و بدبینی میان زوجین می شود؛ که لازم است اقداماتی جهت درمان و پیش گیری و مقابله با آسیب های این معضل توسط مراجع ذی صلاح انجام پذیرد.
