Studies carried out in the 1980s of the 20th century consider computer-mediated communication (CMC) to be a cold and impersonal communication, poor in relational terms, given there is a lack of non-verbal signs (facial expression, gesture, among others). (Derks, Fisher & Bos (2008); Manca & Delfino, 2007)

Computer-mediated communication study. Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is a form of interaction that heavily involves technology (e.g., instant messaging, e-mail). Refer to the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication (Apr. 2004) study to compare relational intimacy in people interacting via CMC to people meeting face-to-face (FTF), Exercise 8.42 (p. 401). Recall that participants were 48 undergraduate students, of which half were randomly assigned to the CMC group (communicating with the “chat” mode of instant-messaging software) and half assigned to the FTF group (meeting in a conference room). Subjects within each group were randomly assigned to either a high equivocality (HE) or low equivocality (LE) task that required communication with their group members. In addition, the researchers counterbalanced gender, so that each group-task combination had an equal number of females and males; these subjects were then divided into male-male pairs, female-female pairs, and male-female pairs. Consequently, there were two pairs of subjects assigned to each of the 2 (groups) × 2 ( tasks ) × 3 (gender pairs) = 12 treatments. A layout of the design is shown on p. 796. The variable of interest, relational intimacy score, was measured (on a 7-point scale) for each subject pair. Write the complete model appropriate for the 2 × 2 × 3 factorial design.Give the sources of variation and associated degrees of freedom for an ANOVA table for this design.Design Layout for Exercise 14.38The researchers found no significant three-way interaction.

The Internet has transformed the way people communicate. Compared to face-to-face communication, computer-mediated communication (CMC) like texting lacks nonverbal cues, such as facial expressions, tones and hand gestures, which are believed to aid linguistic comprehension (Kruger et al. 2005). Information carried by nonverbal symbols might affect the meaning of the linguistic contents, and the lack thereof could pose some challenges. Emojis, however, are thought to be helpful tools in computer-based texting. Evolving from the primitive forms such as ‘smiley face’ [; -)] and ‘frowny face’ [:-(] to emoticons, which were then translated into Unicode characters with more detailed expressions, emojis are becoming increasingly popular among social media users (Riordan 2017). This study aims to explore the role emojis play in CMC.
Classifying computer-mediated communication (CMC) interruptions at work using control as a key delineator

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) interruptions heavily permeate modern working life and include email, text messages, telephone calls, skype, instant messenger, pager notifications and the like. Interruptions from these sources vary in the degree to which they can be accepted or deferred (Bogunovich and Salvucci 2011), depending on the extent to which workers are able to exert control over their response. Yet, interruptions research has traditionally been undertaken in experimental settings where participant control is largely absent. For example, single interruptions are forcibly presented during an ongoing task (Baethge, Rigotti, and Roe 2015; Grundgeiger et al. 2010; Iqbal and Bailey 2005), and/or the participant is instructed to respond in a particular way (Altmann and Trafton 2002; Czerwinski, Cutrell, and Horvitz 2000; Eyrolle and Cellier 2000; McFarlane 2002; Trafton et al. 2003). The subsequent impact on task performance and well-being is almost unvaryingly negative (Bailey, Konstan, and Carlis 2000, 2001; Jackson, Dawson, and Wilson 2003; McFarlane and Latorella 2002; Zohar 1999), with researchers concluding that interruptions are disruptive and should be limited in the workplace (Iqbal and Bailey 2005; Jackson, Dawson, and Wilson 2001; Morgan et al. 2009).

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) refers to human communication conducted or facilitated through digital technologies and devices. It possesses several advantages, including rapid and unobtrusive message delivery,35,36 as well as context independence.37 Therefore, CMC has been often used for news sharing38 and communications. In the context of breaking news or extreme events,39 CMC media, such as Facebook and Twitter, are often utilized for communicating for making sense of extreme events and breaking news by both individuals and organizations. Table 3 shows a selected summary of different dimensions of CMC.
