| dc.description | Based on social penetration theory, social information processing theory and media
synchronicity theory, the present study explores the role of different communication
channels in romantic relationships in terms of self-disclosure. Especially, it seeks to
investigate how self-disclosure influences the choice of communication channel use
within long-distance romantic relationships. A total of 101 respondents participated in
an online survey. Even though instant messenger was found to be the most frequently
used mediated channel within any kind of romantic relationships, it is not used when
self-disclosing intimate matters. Face-to-face was found to be the preferred channel
for self-diclsoure followed by telephone among long-distance couples exceeding web
cam call. This is an indication that cue multiplicity of computer-mediated channels,
does not account for a preferred use. Cue multiplicity here refers to the amount of
different ways of how messages can be transported, one example would be the tone
of voice (Dennis & Vallacich, 1999). | sv |
