Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is one of the most exciting
areas of study in the communication discipline today. Computer
technology is rapidly changing the way we communicate, allowing us
to simultaneously be both connected and mobile. This connected
mobility changes not only our communication ability but our
relational expectations as well. Participating in CMC through
texting, tweeting, Snapchat, email, FaceTime, social media, or
video-conferencing is unavoidable in the 21st century.
Computer-Mediated Communication: Approaches and Perspectives
describes five approaches and multiple perspectives on the
influences of this technologically-mediated communication on
interpersonal and social relationships. The five approaches examine
the constraints, experience, language, opportunities, and
implications of CMC. The book develops these approaches through the
perspectives of media richness, naturalness, affordances,
domestication, presence, social presence, propinquity, social
information processing, hyperpersonal relationships, social
identity model of deindividuation effects, virtual identities,
virtual networks and teams, virtual communities, the Proteus
effect, actor networks, and media niches. The book develops each
perspective through a description, illustration, critique, and
analysis of usefulness. Each chapter contains a computer-mediated
communication ethics challenge, discussion questions, glossary of
terms, and references for further reading. As such,
Computer-Mediated Communication is an excellent textbook for
courses in computer or technologically mediated communication.
