Abstract
In recent years, social apathy has been able to attract the attention of sociologists
and social psychologists. Thus, the present study addresses the issue of social
apathy in the real and virtual worlds. This research, which consists of a social
survey, was conducted in spring 2019 in Kashan, among which 384 students of
Payame Noor University, Medical Sciences University, and the State University
of Kashan, were selected via a non-proportional classified sampling method.
The results showed that, in general, the degree of social apathy of students in
both real and virtual environments is a little more than the middle, although its
amount in the real spaces is slightly higher than virtual ones. It also became
clear that there is a correlation between the degree of social apathy of students in
the real world and the virtual worlds, but the degree of this apathy in the real or
virtual world did not differ significantly in terms of the field of study, type of
university, residence and income. In other words, the degree of social apathy
was relatively the same in all the mentioned groups of students.
