    Study Notes

    Hyperpersonal Communication

    • Hyperpersonal communication refers to online interactions that feel more personal and intimate than face-to-face communication.
    • Hyperpersonal relationships often surpass expected levels of intimacy and connection.

    Impersonal Communication

    • Impersonal communication lacks warmth and emotional engagement, making it less desirable than anticipated interactions.

    Interpersonal Communication

    • Interpersonal communication focuses on relationships among individuals and strives to meet expected social connections.

    Hyperpersonal Characteristics

    • The hyperpersonal aspect involves heightened intensity and intimacy in online relationships compared to face-to-face interactions.

    Hyperpersonal Model

    • The Hyperpersonal Model posits that online interactions enhance relationships due to unique features inherent in digital communication.

    Message Sender Dynamics

    • The message sender's self-presentation is curated to enhance appealing traits, engaging in selective self-presentation.
    • Individuals generate social currency through clever communication, leveraging their mental resources for strong message construction rather than typical social cues.

    CMC Channels

    • Computer-mediated communication (CMC) offers a space free from the pressures of maintaining task and social harmony found in face-to-face (FtF) interactions, facilitating asynchronous participation.
    • CMC allows users to manage social dynamics and tasks more effectively based on convenience.

    Receiver's Idealized Perception

    • The receiver often relies on idealized perceptions shaped by limited social cues, leading to intense attribution processes and overattribution in CMC contexts.
    • The motivation to understand individuals promotes deeper interpretation, especially when future interactions are anticipated.

    Feedback and Intensity Loop

    • CMC fosters an intensification loop where behaviors are confirmed and magnified, enhancing relationships based on positive or negative impressions.
    • The self-fulfilling prophecy can occur, influencing one’s behavior based on the expectations of the relationship.

    Warranting Concept

    • Warranting refers to the perceived validity of online information in relation to someone’s offline characteristics, distinguishing between controlled and uncontrolled information.
    • The combination of personal social media posts and others' reactions contributes to the perceived trustworthiness of online representations.

    Warranting Value

    • Warranting value indicates the trustworthiness of information based on its resistance to manipulation; higher warranting value suggests greater accuracy and reliability.
