The effect of mobile messaging during a conversation on impression formation and interaction quality

作者:

Highlights:

• We examined whether co-present texting impacts negatively on relational outcomes.

• In experiment 1, co-present texters were perceived as less polite and attentive.

• In experiment 2, co-present texting caused perceptions of lower conversation quality.

• Experiment 2 found no negative impact on social attraction.

• Concerns over the harmful effect of co-present phone use appear warranted.
