Therewas also a significant and negative relation between duration of using Internet and social capital (bonding/bridging) in non cyberspaces. Therewas no significant relation between societal using of Internet and social capital (bonding/bridging) in non cyberspaces. Moreover, therewas a negative and significant relation between social capital in cyberspaces and that of non cyberspaces. It indicates that increase in social capital in cyberspace leads to decrease in social capital in non cyberspace.
