Interpersonal Communication
- Interpersonal communication is the process by which people exchange information, feelings, and meaning through verbal and nonverbal messages.
- Interpersonal communication plays a crucial role in our daily lives.
- Digital natives and digital immigrants are distinguished based on their familiarity with technology and the internet.
Theory of Electronic Propinquity
- The theory of electronic propinquity (TEP) proposes that the psychological perception of closeness with a communication partner is influenced by factors such as channel bandwidth, mutual directionality, and the availability of multiple modes of mediated interaction.
- Propinquity is the perception of relational or psychological closeness felt toward another person.
- When opportunities and channels for interaction are limited, propinquity increases.
- Channel bandwidth refers to the capacity of a medium to convey nonverbal cues.
- Higher bandwidth channels, such as video conferencing, can convey more nonverbal cues than lower bandwidth channels, such as text messaging.
- Mutual directionality refers to the ability of a medium to allow for simultaneous communication and feedback.
- The theory of electronic propinquity was first proposed by Philepe Korzenny in 1978.
Computer-Mediated Communication
- Computer-mediated communication (CMC) allows people to feel close to others through various channels and opportunities for interaction.
- CMC tools can impact perceptions of communication partners by increasing or decreasing propinquity.
- The main advantage of CMC in forming and maintaining relationships is that it provides multiple channels and opportunities for interaction.
Digital Natives and Immigrants
- Digital natives are individuals who are familiar with technology and the internet from an early age.
- Digital immigrants are individuals who are not familiar with technology and the internet from an early age.
- Digital natives differ from digital immigrants in their ability to adapt to new technologies and their familiarity with online communication.
Research Studies
- Kaye and colleagues' (2005) study found that lower-bandwidth channels, such as text messaging, can decrease psychological closeness.
- Walther and Bazarova's (2008) test of TEP found that multiple modes of mediated interaction can increase social closeness.
- The initial test of TEP in 1981 was considered a failure due to the limited availability of technology and channels for interaction.
