摘要

Many fear that electronic communication may be less rich in social cues and, therefore, dehumanize organizations. Walther's analysis and controlled study show that electronic communication can promote some surprising, positive relational communication between people. His approach to experimenting with relational communication and his method for coding the results will be most interesting to the reader.
