Abstract:
|
Guided by the Uses and Gratifications (U&G) perspective, this study examined the influence of unwillingness to communicate, loneliness, Internet-use motives, and Internet (CMC) use and interaction (amount and types of use and self-disclosure) online communication satisfaction and relationship closeness. A total of 261 respondents participated in this study. Overall, participants who perceived their face-to-face communication to be rewarding, used CMC for self-fulfillment, and disclosed their personal feelings to others tended to feel close to their online partners. Moreover, participants who used the Internet for purposes of self-fulfillment and affection and intended to disclose their feelings to others felt satisfied with their communication in online settings. |
