The present study was designed and conducted with the aim of comparing sincere relationships between Internet-dependent and non-Internet-dependent users among students of the Islamic Azad University of Tehran in 1397. The research method is descriptive and survey technique and a questionnaire measurement tool has been used to do it. Findings showed that the amount and type of intimate relationships between Internet-dependent and non-Internet-dependent users are different. Among the dimensions of "intimate relationships", the dimension of "level of closeness to another" in Internet-dependent users differs from non-dependent users. The findings also showed a significant difference between "value sharing dimension" and "joint activity" in Internet-dependent and non-Internet-dependent users. This means that cordial relationships among Internet-dependent users in the aforementioned dimensions are weaker than those of non-Internet users. But intimate relationships in the "dimension of knowing each other" and "the dimension of emotional relationships" between Internet users and non-Internet users are no different.
