This paper examines interviews with American college students to reveal the wide range of perspectives they hold regarding the appropriateness of using internet in personal relationships. I argue that there are consistent beliefs about what is supposed to be appropriate but a wide range of actual practices that challenge this overarching belief. The difficulties of making sense of these data and the opportunities for cross-cultural research will be discussed." This presentation is followed by a number of Danish/Nordic researchers who present their work-in-progress. (45 min talk + discussion)
