Title
How the other sees us: perceptions and control in videoconferencing
Abstract
The way we are perceived and we are presenting ourselves in videoconferencing situations is influenced by many factors. Earlier work showed that there are strong effects of participant gender, partner gender, and body language availability on feelings of self-transmission efficacy in videoconferencing. Because participants rated their efficacy at domination and impression management differently when body language was restricted and unrestricted, it was reasoned that users may desire to control body language availability. This study shows that gender of the participants, task, and initial body language availability (determined by the field of view) affect perceptions of trust, social presence, dominance/persuasion, impression management, and user-defined body language availability. We present results of an experimental study with 122 participants and discuss the findings in the context of implications for the design and use of videoconferencing systems.
