Abstract
Research on groups and technology often focuses on differences between face-to-face groups and computer-mediated groups. However, technology can also be utilized in face-to-face meetings, and can impact outcomes in a variety of ways. Multicommunication is the use of technology during face-to-face interactions. This exploratory study focused on how individuals perceive multicommunication (texting) occurring during a decision-making meeting. Results showed women viewed multicommunicators more negatively than men, and multicommunicators were viewed more negatively than non-multicommunicators. However, the gender of the multicommunicator did not play a role in perceptions. Suggested theoretical implications, along with directions for further research are provided.
