The Online Disinhibition Effect
The author (John Suler) explored six factors that affect how people self-disclose or act differently than in person. Moreover, he said that different means of communication (e-mail, chat, and video) as well as different environments (social, vocational, fantasy) facilitate diverse expressions of self. This made me think that how do these factors impact social computing? Specifically how would these factors effect (negative and positive) users themselves as compared to the other people interacting with them? and how to build trust and validate identity in online communication?
