    A function \(f\) on a group \(G\) is called a real quasi-character if there exists a constant \(c = c_f\) such that \(|f(st) - f(s) - f(t)|\leq c_f\) for all \(s,t \in G\) and a quasi-character is called a pseudocharacter on \(G\) if \(\varphi(x^n) = n\varphi(x)\) for all \(x\in G\) and \(n \in \mathbb N\). After reviewing the theory of quasi-characters and quasi-representations and using the theory of pseudocharacters on locally compact groups, the author proves (main result): The second real continuous bounded cohomology group \(H^2(G, \mathbb R)\) of a locally compact group \(G\) is finite-dimensional if and only if the second cohomology group \(H^2(G/G_0,\mathbb R)\) of the quotient group \(G/G_0\) of \(G\) by the connected component \(G_0\) is finite-dimensional.
