Preliminary Development of a Model and Measure of Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) Competence
Open accessAbstract
The rationale for developing a theoretical model of computer-mediated communication (CMC) competence is established through review of social trends in the use of new media technologies.Special attention is paid to the role new media play in the formation and development of personal relationships.A model of CMC competence is then developed along the lines of motivation, knowledge, skills, context, and outcomes as a metaphorical typology for organizing existing CMC research.This research is reviewed as it informs, and is organized by, the model of CMC competence.A sampling of formal propositions resulting from the model is elaborated, and the results of preliminary pilot studies of the model are reviewed.The model is offered as a first step in examining individual differences in the domain of CMC relationships and media choice.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
