Abstract:
|
This study investigated the influence of interpersonal behaviors and intergroup dynamics on evaluations and affective communication in virtual groups. Participants (N = 256) were assigned to 64 four-person groups and interacted through synchronous computer chat. Distinct sub-group pairings instantiated in-group and out-group identifications. One confederate in each group was instructed to engage in interpersonally likeable or dislikeable behavior. Although the identification manipulation did affect ingroup/outgroup identification, analysis revealed that confederates acting likeably were more attractive than those acting dislikeably regardless of their intergroup membership. Results suggest that interpersonal behavior is a better predictor of relational communication and evaluative process in virtual groups than intergroup dynamics. |

| Identity Interpersonal Perception and CMC 1 Social Identification and Interpersonal Perception in Computer-mediated Communication: What You Do Versus Who You Are in Virtual Groups Identification dynamics and interpersonal perceptions in virtual teams are intriguing topics and complicated issues. When communicating with others online people may interact as individuals or act as members of particular groups. Among the different ways to conceptualize these interactions there are two primary competing perspectives: namely the interpersonal and small group approach (e.g. Cartwright & |
