Ao3 strength

A

McKenna & Bargh (2000)

•Participants: Shy, lonely, socially anxious people

Findings:
•Online they expressed their ‘true selves’ more than in face-to-face
•71% of these online relationships lasted at least 2 years
•Compared to 49% of face-to-face ones

Supports the idea that absence of gating (e.g., appearance, anxiety) helps virtual relationships thrive

Increases validity

Q

AO3 limitation

A

Not all relationships are purely online or offline – many are multi-modal

Online and offline interactions are often intertwined, not “either/or

What we disclose online is affected by offline context and vice versa

This complex overlap weakens arg
theory may oversimplify modern relationships
