A Level Psychology- Virtual Relationships

?

Reduced cues theory- Sproull and Kiesler (1986) found that computer mediated communication (CMC) relationships are less effective as they lack cues that are usually depended upon, such as cues related to emotional state (body language and facial expressions). This could then lead to de-individuation (a reduced state of individual identity) which then encourages disinhibition (weakening of certain social constraints that could lead to oversharing)

The hyperpersonal model- Walther (1996, 2011) argued that CMC are more personal and involves greater self-disclosure, this may be due to faster development, earlier
