E-mail Communication and Group Cooperation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two empirical studies are presented that explore how and why e-mail communication (versus face-to-face communication) influences cooperation in mixed motive group contexts. Results indicate that, relative to those engaging in face-to-face interaction, those who interacted via e-mail were (1) less cooperative and (2) felt more justified in being non-cooperative. Feelings of justification mediated the relationship between communication media and the decision to cooperate or not.
