self-disclosure
in virtual relationships
more likely to
self-disclosein
cmc relationships as there is
less
embarassment
there's
time
to think about what to say
however: research on people being less likely to
self-disclose
due to risk of blackmailing/
catfishing
reduced-cue
theory
argues that computer mediated communication is less effective than
face to face
cmc lacks more cues as we normally depend on
face to face
included non verbal cues like body
language
and
emotion
lead to
deindividuation
because it reduces sense of
individual
identity
therefore: involve more blunt and
aggressive
communication, thus less likely to lead to
self-disclosure
hyperpersonal
model
suggestd by
walther
virtual relationships can be more personal and have greater
self-disclosure
than FTF
can feel more
intimate
/meaningful
more
intimate
: easier to manipulate or
self-disclosure
hyperpersonal mode
: strangers on a
train
others dont know your identity so you feek kess
accountable
for your
behaviour
Absence of
gating
gate: obstacle to a formation and development of a relationship
eg: physcial unattractiveness, shyness, anxiety
mckenna and bargh suggested
gates
are absent in cmc
therefore: easier for relationships to form and become
intimate
on cmc
focus is
self-disclosure
rather than what they look like
Advantages of gating:
reduced
judgement
more emphasis on
personality
give people a
chance
some may be able to be
themselves
Disadvantages
of gating:
may lead to
tension
when they do meet ftf
people may choose to present
themselves
a different age/
gender
/personality
AO3 - strength of hyperpersonal model
research support
eg: model predicts that people are motivated to
self-disclose
in cmc relationships
researcher found that questions asked in
online
discussion tended to be very direct
this is different face to face as people may be
moe mindful
of what they say
therefore: increases
validity
and
credibility
of the ideas suggested by walther
AO3 - strength of absence of gating for virtual relationships
research support
eg: studied cmc used to
lonely
+ socially
anxious
people
found: these people were less able to express themselves
online
70
% of cmc relationships were found to survive more than
2
years
lonliness
+
social
anxiety: gate
therefore:
credible
sources
AO3
- weakness of both
doesnt consider multi-modal relationships
online
and
offline
