Abstract
This study examined the effects of communication apprehension and introversion on perceptions of relational interdependence in online relationships. Results indicated that communication apprehension (CA) was positively related to perceptions of relational interdependence in an online relationship. A negative relationship was found between introversion and perceptions of relational interdependence in the online relationship. Findings suggest that much‐studied communication constructs in face‐to‐face relationships extend to relationships in the online environment.
