Abstract

How sensitively do users assess and react to their specific audience in online communication? Participants (n=163) answered an inquiry of a student seeking advice. In a 2 x 2 between-subjects design we varied whether the inquiry contained emotion-based self-disclosure or not and whether the communication situation was public or private. We analyze communication behavior in reference to the self, the interlocutor, emotional content, and privacy related content comparing results by LIWC software and manually coding.
