Abstract:
|
The present paper seeks to describe the manner in which individuals use various media in the information seeking process. Research questions about the ways people seek information about others across various relationship types and between genders, and the communication modes they use to do so, drove the development and administration of a survey to 225 participants. Three patterns of media use were generally obtained: media used across all relationships, media that are unlikely to be used at all, and some that were favored for some relationships (e.g., classmates and prospective romantic partners) but not others (e.g., family members or best friends). Finally, the theoretical implications of these findings are discussed and directions for future research are examined. |
