Abstract

Approaching the year 2000, a chorus of complaints arose about the lack of research on intercultural CMC. Jarvenpaa and Leidner’s (1998) lament that ‘[w]hile there is a wealth of research on computer-mediated communication and research on cross-cultural communication, there is a paucity of research on cross-cultural computer-mediated communication’ was echoed by Hart (1998); Kim, Hearn, Hatcher, and Weber (1999, p. 144); Ess (2001, p. 9); St Amant (2002, p. 212); and in Herring’s (2001a) evaluation that ‘there has been little scholarship that evaluates critically the effects of computer networking on the world’s cultures’ (p. viii).KeywordsCultural DifferenceCultural PracticeOnline CommunicationCultural ConventionCultural PatternThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
