Domain-specific

• Hyperpersonal model
  • The hyperpersonal model explains how reduced and controllable cues in computer-mediated communication can intensify favorable self-presentation, partner idealization and perceived intimacy.
• Social Presence
  • It predicts the synchrony tendency (synchronous media tend toward higher presence than asynchronous, but not uniformly — thoughtful asynchronous exchange can outperform shallow synchronous), the latency threshold (perceptible turn-taking lag degrades presence while sub-threshold lag is invisible), and the disclosure-presence loop as a self-reinforcing trajectory that forecasts the rapid intimacy of some online relationships

    “media sometimes facilitate communication that surpasses normal interpersonal levels, a new perspective on “hyperpersonal” communication is introduced”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
