13.13.1 :-? Cheryl
Sherri,
The level of honesty that occured during the group work that you speak of--is it truly a result of online
collaboration or areflection of the personalities of the group? Are
you suggesting that individuals who are likely to speak out and expresstheir opinions on line are less
likely to do so in person? Did these apply to all? Were some of us
more restrained?
I would like to suggest that what occurs in online discussions is a reduction in the spontaneous automatic
response to astatement, rather than an increase in honesty.
Online discussions do give people the opportunity to reflect on what theywill say rather than regretting
what they have spontaneously spoken out about. However, are
we more honest or justmore careful?
