- It may be that not all virtual environments are the same. For example, people may self-disclose more on a gaming site than a dating site because on a dating site, there is the possibility of having face to face interaction.
- There may be a lack of non-verbal communication online but there are other cues which may up for it, such as emojis and how long it takes someone to reply.
- Cultural differences can affect social interaction. For example, Yum and Hara (2005) found that Koreans felt less trust when there is more disclosure in virtual relationships.
