What is Computer-mediated
Communication (CMC)?
Computer-Mediated Communication
(CMC) is any form of communication
between two or more individual people
who interact and/or influence each other
via separate computers through the
Internet or a network connection - using
social software. CMC does not include
the methods by which two computers
communicate, but rather how people
communicate via computers.
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
Another definitions:
A relatively new but rapidly growing form of
interaction (Lee & Nass, 2002)
The process by which people create, exchange, and
perceive information using computer systems that
facilitate encoding, transmitting, and decoding
messages (December, 2003)
The communication that takes place between people
via the computer (Herring, 1996)
Interaction between two or more intelligent agents
that relies on ICT—usually a personal computer and
networks—as its primary medium (Ess, 2007)
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
CMC: at its broadest, at its smallest
At its broadest CMC can encompass
virtually all computer uses (Santoro, 1995)
In general, the term CMC refers to both
task-related and interpersonal
communication conducted by computer.
This includes communication both to and
through a personal or mainframe
computer.(Ferris, 1997)

CMC vs. HCI
In many ways, the difference between CMC and
HCI are not fundamental differences. But they
focus on different characteristics of new media
technologies.
HCI focuses on characteristics of the
technology and individual user’s psychological
processes.
◦ Interactivity
◦ Presence
◦ Cognition
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
CMC vs. HCI
CMC focuses on characteristics of the
communicative environment and user
interactions
◦ Anonymity (being anonymous)
◦ Synchronicity (real-time vs. delayed
conversation)
◦ Relationship development
◦ Impression formation
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
Dimensions of CMC
Cue Richness
◦ Amount of multisensory communication cues
available to each participant
Decreasing Cue Richness example: full-motion A/V,
graphics with audio, audio only, text with emoticons, text
Synchronicity
◦ Synchronous – all participants acting
simultaneously or within very short time window
◦ Asynchronous – participant engages in
communication at any time, without requiring
simultaneous presence of other participants

Types of CMC
Asyncronous
Syncronous
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
Asyncronous Communication
Asynchronous activities are independent
of real-time and are comprised of
activities, such as, viewing a web page,
composing an Electronic Mail (e-mail),
watching a video clip, or dowloading a file.
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
Asyncronous CMC
CMC can include anything that is text -based,
uses ICT as a technological base and can be
used for two way transmission of ideas.
Examples of CMC can include:
emails
mailbases
shared network group folders
discussion boards (or fora/forums)
frequently updated hyperlinked webpages.
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
Synchronous Communication
Synchronous activities occur concurrently
between two or more users including such
real-time applications as chat rooms or
instant messaging which allow users to
interact simultaneously through text, audio,
and video with other users located
anywhere in the world.
Synchronous CMC includes:
Chat
Instant messaging

Media Richness Theory
(Daft & Lengel, 1986)
The degree of richness of a communication
medium is dependent on the capacity of the
medium to process ambiguous communication
Richer media are more effective for equivocal
tasks, and leaner media are better for unequivocal
tasks
Primary assumption is the more the medium
reproduces face-to-face communication, the more
people will feel the other person is “real”.
Implication: higher bandwidth (information
content), produces more feelings of presence and
connection
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
Media Richness Theory
Media have different abilities to reduce
ambiguity and uncertainty. People will
most likely choose the medium that
reduces these elements the most
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
Task-media Fit Hypothesis
Suh (1999) explains the relationship between a
task and media richness as follows:
When a medium is too rich for a task
(choice of a product), inefficient
communication can result due to the
distraction of non-essential cues and
information; and
When a medium is too lean for a task, then
inefficient communication may result
because insufficient cues and information are
transmitted.

Social Identity model of Deindividuation
Effects (SIDE) Theory
The lack of individuating information
renders intragroup differences less salient,
thereby facilitating group identification
with the partners
The polarization thus enhanced
attachment to the group accounts for
increased social influence (Lea, Spears, &
de Groot, 2001; Postmes, Spears, & Lea,
1999)
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
SIDE Theory
The ability of engaging in anonymous
communication is believed to be a very
important feature of CMC.
Different levels of anonymity
◦ True anonymity
◦ Visual anonymity
◦ Perceived anonymity
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
SIDE Theory
Earlier research suggest that anonymity
would lead to impersonal
(depersonalized) communication
◦ Anonymity and distance lead to a decrease in
self-awareness
◦ Decrease in self-awareness lead to
deindividuation
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
SIDE Theory
What is self-awareness?
◦ at any given moment, an individual’s attention can be
directed either outward to the external environment
toward things such as tasks, other people, or the
social context, or directed inward to various aspects
of the self (Duval & Wicklund, 1972).
◦ The different features of the self can be categorized
into two major parts (Fenigstein, Scheier, & Buss,
1975):
The public self
physical appearance, table manners, and accent.
the private self
personal beliefs, hidden inner feelings, thoughts, and memories that are
covert to others including religious beliefs and childhood memories
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
SIDE Theory
Public Self-awareness
◦ Attention is directed towards to the public
aspects of the self
◦ Public self-awareness has consistently been
found to cause conformity towards perceived
majority opinions (Duval & Wicklund, 1972;
Froming, Walker, & Lopyan, 1982; Scheier &
Carver, 1980; Wicklund & Duval, 1971)
◦ It can be heightened by the presence of film
or video cameras
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
SIDE Theory
Private Self-awareness
◦ Attention is directed towards to those private
aspects of the self
◦ has been shown to cause individuals to be
more aware of, and more responsive to, their
emotions (Scheier, 1976; Scheier & Carver,
1977), and engage in more self-disclosure
(Joinson, 2001)..
◦ It can be heightened by the presence of a
small mirror & self-portrait.
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
SIDE Theory
Theoretically, many explanations of both pro- and antisocial behaviors in computer-mediated communication
(CMC) appear to hinge on changes in individual selfawareness.
Empirically, very few studies directly tested the effect of
self-awareness on common outcomes of CMC research.
◦ although self-awareness has been found to impact self-disclosure
& persuasion in CMC (Joinson, 2001; Matheson & Zanna, 1988;
1989),
◦ the reduction of social cues in CMC can decrease users’ overall
self-awareness, leading to a state of deindividuation, thereby
fostering interactions that are more task-oriented, impersonal,
and in some cases even uninhibited and anti-normative.
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
SIDE Theory
Visual anonymity allows us to communicate with
each other without worrying about many other
social information (social identities)
◦

◦
◦
Appearance
Skin color
Gender
Age
As a consequence, we tend to
◦ Communicate more honestly with less bias
◦ Communicate more freely with less social constraints
◦ Focus on the tasks rather than the socio-emotional
aspects of the conversation.
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
SIDE Theory
Deindividuation is good for decision making
and corporate environment
◦ Less influenced by power structure
◦ Speak more freely and thus encourages creativity
◦ Focusing on tasks and not bothered by social
formality
Deindividuation is bad for social
environment
◦ Difficult to be personal
◦ Conversation may become direct and cold
(impersonal)
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
SIDE Theory
According to this perspective, deindividuation
may not always be impersonal.
◦ Just because a conversation is visually anonymous, it
doesn’t mean that we don’t engage in self-regulation
and monitoring
◦ What is important is which social identity is salient at
the moment
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
Hyperpersonal Communication in CMC
visual anonymity of CMC enables users to mask
physical or behavioral cues that are undesirable,
and selectively self-disclose more favorable
information.
Thus, communication in CMC, due to
anonymity, allow a person to strategically create
an “ideal self” to present to the other person.
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
Hyperpersonal Communication in CMC
This allows communicators to carefully
think about what to say, how to say it, and
when to say it.
It also allows individuals to use their
imagination to “idealize” the person
whom they are talking to.
Thus, leading to intense social
relationships beyond normal level (hyperpersonal).
Pertekom Sem. Ganjil TA 2012/2013
Hyperpersonal Theory (Joseph
Walther)
Media providing fewer nonverbal and metalinguistic cues provide more feelings of presence
People assume conversational partners are like
themselves
May explain tendency to self-reveal
inappropriately
Compared to ordinary face-to-face situations, a
hyperpersonal message sender has a greater
ability to strategically develop and edit selfpresentation, enabling a selective and optimized
presentation of oneself to others
