Varying Definitions of Online Communication and Their Effects on Relationship Research (1) examines how differing definitions of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in research studies have led to contradictory findings on how CMC influences online and offline relationships. The paper analyzes four studies that defined CMC differently (email only, instant messaging, etc.) and found varying levels of intimacy and closeness between online and offline relationships. The paper concludes that to fully understand CMC's impact, future research should examine all forms of CMC (email, instant messaging, video chat, etc.) and their effects on both established and new relationships.
