F2F vs online

[see: Dewar & Whittington 2000 and Maldonada 2001]

Maldonada paper: In CMC the gender roles are similar to F2F. Women tend to support, males tend to confront. Males write longer messages, more frequently, in a critical way and use more sarcasm. Women write shorter messages but express more doubts, suggestions and gratitude. Dewar and Whittington compared the type characteristics of Lawrence with those of F2F. The online participants identified with the F2F characteristics. Note to self must read this bit of the paper again.

So, F2F the personality type characteristics are the same as online (Maldonada), and the gender roles are the same (Dewar & Whittington).
