Reduced Cues Theory - Sproull & Kiesler
Reduced Cues Theory
Sproull & Kiesler
phy cues to emo lack in CMC
lead to losing identity and acting in diff way
aggressive and blunt communication lead to reluctance in SD
reduced cues = deindividuation (less sense of identity)
Hyperperson Model
Walther
CMC relations. are more personal/ more SD
can develop relations. quickly as SD is easier so relations. are more intimate
Selective Self-Presentation
have more control over what to SD and the cues they send than in FtF
manipulate self-image to look better by being hyperhonest or hyperdishonest
Feedback To Reinforce
received has a positive view of sender so replies to reinforce SSP
Bargh et al
strangers on a train effect
anonymity promotes SD & being hyperhonest
feel less accountable
Gating
any obstacle to the formation of a relations.
- unattractive, social anxiety, age
FtF is considered gated as it has many features than interfere with development
McKenna & Bargh (Could be AO3)
adv. of CMC is the lack of gating
relations. can develop so SD is deeper
absence of gating allows relations. to develop in a way that’s less likely in FtF
VS Lack of Gating
people can create online identity
catfishing
dangerous
Lack of Support for RCT
non verbal cues are diff in CMC not absent
Walther & Tidwell
online, people use other cues (style, timing)
Other ways to compensate such as emojis
that lead to lack of deindividuation
Lack of Support for HM
Ruppel et al
meta-analysis of 25
compare SD in FtF and CMC
frequency/depth of SD higher in FtF
VS Lack of Support For HM
difference in type of SD in FtF and CMC
Whitty & Jackson
- SSP is manipulated in CMC
- questions more direct and intimate
SD differs as we act differently according to the situation
