Communication in virtual environments: The influence of spatial cues and gender on verbal behavior
作者：
Highlights：
• Verbal behavior differs in high and low-spatial cue virtual environments.
• Male and female participants interacted with a confederate in each environment.
• Text analysis of conversation logs revealed differences by gender and environment.
• Both factors influenced linguistic metrics, particularly measures of collaboration.
• Results suggest that spatial cues benefit social connection in virtual environments.
