Summary/Abstract: People say and do things in cyberspace, things they would not do or say in a face to face relationship. Here are more relaxed, more disinhibited and thus more freely. This phenomenon is called the disinhibited effect. The effect may be twofold: Sometimes people share very personal things about themself - hidden emotions, fears, desires - or resort to unusual acts of kindness and generosity.
