<p><em><span>Facebook provides users comfort in communicating even though they cannot see expressions or any other nonverbal signs, which have been an essential factor in supporting face-to-face communication. Therefore, this research is necessary because the absence of nonverbal communication, especially facial expression, touching, and gesture, renders the communication process between individuals ineffective and uncomfortable, as it was when people first used email to communicate via the internet. Through the study of Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) perspectives, nonverbal communication, Social Presence Theory and Lack of Social Context Cues theory, this paper will discuss forms of nonverbal communication in the digital era. This study is based on research conducted by researchers using the netnography method and carried out through literature studies. The research was conducted on the Muslim community Bening Society on Facebook because the communication between them is very intense, as required in netnography. The loss of nonverbal communication in interpersonal communication does not, in fact, reduce netizens’ comfort in communicating and interacting. The emergence of digital emoticons and nonverbals is a substitute for nonverbal communication because digital emoticon and nonverbal functions in mediated interpersonal communication are the same as nonverbal communication.</span></em></p>

Interpersonal communication should ideally in face to face, until the achievement of intimate communication. Instant messenger makes interpersonal communication easier and more efficient. However, it also resulted in less effective communication to occur, because it only uses text messaging as a means to convey a message so frequent miscommunication. This study wanted to see how the use of instant messenger among teenagers in interpersonal communication. The theory used in this study is a Computer Mediated Communication, Ecology Media and Interpersonal Intimacy. The method used in this research is phenomenology. The results of this study indicate that the instant messenger is a medium that is considered to be practical and easy to communicate interpersonally with family, friends, and lovers. Interpersonal communication process through instant messenger can not reach the stage of intimate relationship, because of interactions that occur frequently experienced miscommunication due to an incorrect perception. Interpersonal communication is more effective if it is done face to face. Teens when communicating via instant messenger, tend not to believe and to tell the truth.

This chapter examines the content of written blog postings of students enrolled in a face-to-face course focusing on literacy assessment methods and practice for Pre-Service Teachers (PST) seeking elementary teaching certification. The purpose of the study was to examine the transcription of the students' postings and Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) to look for the three types of elements that comprise the Community of Inquiry according to as well as the examination of broader themes and trends across the data (Corbin & Strauss, 1990). Data included blog posts from a 15-week semester with a total of 702 combined posts and comments from a total of 40 undergraduate students. Data were analyzed using the constant-comparative method () and the framework of the Community of Inquiry Model (). Students engaged in various levels of cognitive stages of inquiry while also building on and developing social presence throughout the course. Teacher presence also guided the social construction of knowledge throughout the course. Examination of the teacher presence suggests that the instructor needed to provide more scaffolding in modeling evidence-based practice and problem-solving on the blog as students did not always connect their practice to evidence-based or text-based support.

The study of the relationship between stereotypes and communication is strongly interdisciplinary, involving not only communication scholars from many areas (interpersonal, discourse, organizational, mass media, computer-mediated communication, and so forth) but also social psychologists, sociolinguists, psycholinguists, and political scientists. In particular, the attention to stereotypes by communication scholars and to communication by social psychologists has helped advance scientific knowledge of the influence of stereotypes as cognitions on communicative behaviors—even at the level of word choice—and the equally strong influence of communication in all its forms on the construction and persistence of stereotypes. The research from both communication and psychological approaches has primarily applied social-scientific theories and methods to the study of stereotypes and communication, providing critical insights into stereotyping as an interpersonal communication process in which the influence of stereotypical beliefs is often implicit, that is, outside the conscious awareness of communicators. Media scholars have added to these insights by highlighting the ways mass media reflect and perpetuate social stereotypes. Discourse scholars have contributed yet another important layer of knowledge, showing how writers and speakers subtly implicate and instantiate stereotypes in text and talk. All of these approaches—interpersonal communication and psychology, discourse, and mass media—have considered the effects of communicative stereotyping on individuals and societies, strategies to reduce negative outcomes, and communication as a resource to lessen stereotyping.

This chapter adds depth to current theoretical approaches to the idea of social presence in computer-mediated communication by integrating ideas from deconstructionism, subaltern studies, phenomenological/dialogic approaches, and media ecology with current CMC perspectives on the (dis)embodied nature of CMC communication. The relation of the physical to online social environments naturally raises the question of the ways these environments inherit heteroglossic social expectations from other communication/media genres, especially from written media and from face-to-face conversational interactions. Ultimately, these inheritances, together with their ethical considerations, show that a variety of perspectives, even those that seem to be conflicting, simply serve to illuminate various aspects of the CMC environment and the ethical ramifications thereof.

As digital tools and social networks became the main mode of interaction for many people, interpersonal communication has changed. Computer-mediated communication (CMC) has become more important than face-to-face communication in many contexts. Younger generations prefer CMC. Personal interaction normally consists of verbal and non-verbal communication. Computer-mediated communication lacks traditional non-verbal cues, which may cause misunderstandings, influencing meaningful interpersonal communication. Because of a lack of face-to-face communication, people often present an idealised version of themselves, thus becoming less inhibited involving more inappropriate self-disclosure on, for instance, social networks. The research question for this literature review was whether communicating with others mainly through digital means without adequate non-verbal cues would influence meaningful interaction between people. This study used the cues-filtered-out approach and the social presence theory with a literature review to get some clarity on the above question. The premise of the author was that because of the lack of non-verbal cues, CMC messages could influence the understanding of emotions and attitudes, thus compromising meaningful communication and personal understanding of the other. The outcome was that in today’s world people have to use CMC, but for meaningful interpersonal communication, they should try to combine it with face-to-face interaction.

The existence of CMC (Computer-Mediated Communication) has influenced the pattern of human communication, which was initially face-to-face, to become more accessible by using electronic devices. So that the communication process can be carried out more flexibly even though they are separated by distance. However, communication through electronic devices has limitations in conveying messages and providing the opportunity for the recipient to understand the message because CMC (Computer-Mediated Communication) does not include nonverbal communication such as expressions and feelings. Therefore, communication through electronic devices depends on the use of language only. However, people tend to make language errors in digital communication such as omission or punctuation errors, spelling errors and inappropriate PUEBI, abbreviated words, and complex words to understand. These two conditions certainly impact the digital communication process because people are at risk of experiencing misunderstandings with different perceptions between the two. This research aims to determine the urgency and role of emoji and PUEBI-compliant spelling in digital communication among Airlangga University students. This research method is descriptive qualitative by applying the purposive sampling technique. The respondent's criteria are undergraduate students from Universitas Airlangga who have experience in digital communication. Data were collected through surveys and literature studies to obtain detailed information on the research topic. The results show that using emoji and good spelling is critical in digital communication because of limitations in delivering nonverbal communication and semantic errors that affect misunderstandings between communicators and communicators. Emojis and spellings that match The General Guideline for Indonesian Spelling (Pedoman Umum Ejaan Bahasa Indonesia [PUEBI]) can clarify messages so that the intent can be adequately conveyed, change the tone or intonation of speech, channel and represent the sender's expression, and give an impression to the sender of the message.

AbstractThis study adopts a case study approach to investigate the impacts of synchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC) learning environments on learners’ perception of social presence. The participants were twelve French as a foreign language (FFL) beginners in a Taiwanese university. Divided into three groups, they conducted some tasks in three different learning environments (video/audio, audio and face-to-face) during an academic semester. Before each oral task, all the participants had to conduct the same task in synchronous text chat. The participants’ interview transcriptions, learning journals and the instructor's observation journal provided information about the impacts of each environment on their perception of social presence. The results of the study suggested that the differences in the environments are reflected in the learners’ perception of social presence.

Computer-Mediated Communication supports verbal and nonverbal communication in online reality same with face-to-face communication. Verbal elements in communication include words spoken while nonverbal elements include paralinguistic. Paralinguistic cues used in social media might help the receiver in the delivery process but also might cause miscommunication. This study aims to investigate the use of paralinguistic cues by students of Program Study Communication Sciences Universitas Padjadjaran and how is miscommunication on social media. This is a qualitative study based on case study method. Primary data collected through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with the students of Program Study Communication Sciences Universitas Padjadjaran class A and B of class 2015. Triangulation was done by theories triangulation. The results show Paralinguistic cues used by students of Program Study Communication Sciences Universitas Padjadjaran include orthography, vocabularies, and graphic paralinguistic, while grammar and content and text are seldom used. Meanwhile, the common miscommunication usually done is lurking. This study might give contribution to the nonverbal communication feature developers on social media.Abstract in Bahasa IndonesiaKomunikasi bermedia komputer (CMC) mendukung komunikasi verbal dan non verbal dalam realitas online. Elemen verbal dalam komunikasi adalah kata-kata yang diucapkan, sedangkan elemen nonverbal mencakup paralinguistik atau paralanguage. Penggunaan paralinguistik ini dinilai akan mempermudah penerimaan pesan oleh penerima pesan, namun tidak jarang penggunaan paralinguistik juga menimbulkan miskomunikasi diantara mereka. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Pengumpulan data primer dilakukan melalui Focus Group Discussion dengan dua kelas, yaitu Kelas A dan B angkatan 2015 Program Studi Ilmu Komunikasi Universitas Padjadjaran. Triangulasi dilakukan dengan triangulasi teori. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Paralinguistik yang sering dipergunakan oleh Mahasiswa Program Studi Ilmu Komunikasi Universitas Padjadjaran mencakup orthograpi, kosa kata dan paralinguistik grafis, sedangkan tata bahasa, konten dan teks jarang dipergunakan. Sementara itu miskomunikasi yang biasanya dilakukan adalah lurking. Hasil dari penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi bagi pengembangan komunikasi nonverbal di media sosial.
