Two social lives: How differences between online and offline interaction influence social outcomes

Abstract: For hundreds of thousands of years, humans only communicated in person, but in just the past fifty years they have started also communicating online. Today, people communicate more online than offline. What does this shift mean for human social life? We identify four structural differences between online (versus offline) interaction: (1) fewer nonverbal cues, (2) greater anonymity, (3) more opportunity to form new social ties and bolster weak ties, and (4) wider dissemination of information. Each of these diff… Show more

“…It is well-established that good social relationships (such as peer acceptance and high-quality friendships) can act as protective factors against depression, while negative social relationships (such as bullying victimization and social exclusion) can increase the risk of suffering from depression [12,14,44,45]. Based on previous studies, this result also suggests that the functions and influences of online social interactions and relationships are similar to those of real-life social interactions and relationships [46,47]. Furthermore, this finding also supports the view that being bullied online is a negative and stressful experience, which could cause similar harmful effects like traditional bullying in real life, and that more attention should be paid to cyberbullying victimization among adolescents and its influences.…”

“…Although individual differences play a role in determining who engages in these acts [85,90], certain features of social media promote them. For example, social media strip away cues that activate empathic responses during face-to-face interactions, which constrain aggressive behavior (e.g., [91][92][93][94][95]). They also make it easier for people to share their emotions when they peak and are most motivated to do so [96,97].…”

“…Interacting with AIVAs will also alter the decision process itself. Using an AIVA may create a unique experience that is distinct from other human-technology interactions (Lieberman and Schroeder 2020). When it comes to influence on choices, an AIVA's ability to signal warmth (e.g., cues like gender, affect, tone) and competence (e.g., immediate answers, a broad array of facts, real-time information) simultaneously enhances trust in the AIVA's motives as well as the quality of its recommendations.…”
