I think that one could argue for either being the cause. I think that people who are lonely may be more likely to become internet users. But there are others that may become "lonely" and isolated after they start using the internet. This isolation, I believe, would be mostly face-to-face interaction and not counting internet communities.
I'm doing my senior research paper, this semester, and am looking at the correlation (not causation) between level of introversion and computer/internet usage. I'm planning on making the results available on a web page, but it will be a couple of months before that's finished.
When it's done I can submit it here if anyone is interested, or just let people who are interested in the results know where they can find them.
