dc.description.abstract | Objective: To theoretically examine how the functional properties of Information and
Communications Technologies (ICTs) may potentially influence social information
processing (SIP) relevant to cyber-aggression and victimization (CAV), and the opportunities
for aggression and victimization that these new technologies provide.
Results: Our conceptual analysis highlights multiple functional properties of ICTs that
provide opportunities for CAV, and implicates new social norms arising around use of
ICTs that may also distinguish online from offline aggression and victimization. These
include the paucity and/or permanence of social cues, the deployment of substitute cues
(e.g., emoticons), ambiguity around intentions of communicators and around perceptions
of privacy and audience, and the removal of response inhibitors resulting from
continuous access to ICTs. Conclusions: Our analysis provides a useful heuristic
device and reveals a need for innovative research to better examine how features of
ICTs modulate social information processing to increase (or decrease) the likelihood of
cyber-aggression and victimization. The consideration of SIP in understanding CAV
opens important avenues for future empirical inquiry. | |
