Who Are the Online Commenters? A Large-Scale Representative Survey to Explore the Identity and Motivation of Online News Commenters in Comparison to Non-Commenters
To better understand the demographic composition of people participating in commenting sections beneath online news articles, we conducted a large-scale survey ( n = 5,490) with a panel that is representative of the Dutch population – the LISS panel. We combined these data with demographic background variables and previously collected data on political views and values, to provide a detailed description of the identity of online news commenters i…
What People Look at in Multimodal Online Dating Profiles
This study investigates how online dating profiles, consisting of both pictures and texts, are visually processed, and how both components affect impression formation. The attractiveness of the profile picture was varied systematically, and texts either included language errors or not. By collecting eye tracking and perception data, we investigated whether picture attractiveness determines attention to the profile text and if the text plays a sec…
Effects of comparative information when communicating personalized risks of treatment outcomes
Despite great promise of using personalized risks of treatment outcomes during shared decision-making, patients often experience difficulty evaluating and using them. We examined the effects of providing comparative information of the average person’s risk when discussing personalized risks on people’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioural responses. Participants (n = 1,807) from a representative sample of the Dutch population received personaliz…
The role of eye-contact in the development of romantic attraction
Impression formation on online dating sites
This article presents two experimental studies investigating the impact of language errors in online dating profiles on impression formation. A first study examined whether language errors have a negative effect on perceptions of attraction and dating intention and whether this effect is moderated by the presence of visual information, that is, the profile picture. This 2 (Language Errors/No Language Errors) × 2 (Visible/Blurred Picture) experime…
Social attraction in video-mediated communication
The first aim of this study was to analyze video-mediated communication (VMC), in comparison to face-to-face (FTF) communication, and the effect it has on how communicators express nonverbal affiliative behaviors relevant for social attraction. Second, this study aimed to discover whether these nonverbal expressions relate to communicators' social attraction. An experiment with 93 cross-sex dyads was conducted, with a get-acquainted exercise in a…
How Do Friends and Strangers Play the Game Taboo ? A Study of Accuracy, Efficiency, Motivation, and the Use of Shared Knowledge
According to common belief, friends communicate more accurately and efficiently than strangers, because they can use uniquely shared knowledge and common knowledge to explain things to each other, while strangers are restricted to common knowledge. To test this belief, we asked friends and strangers to play, via e-mail and face-to-face, the word-description game Taboo, in which objects need to be described without using certain “taboo” words. Whe…
On the interpretation of anaphoric noun phrases
On the interpretation of anaphoric noun phrases
Starting from the assumption that NPs of all kinds can be anaphoric on antecedents in the linguistic context, we work towards a general theory of context-dependent NP meaning. Two complicating factors are that the relation between anaphors and antecedents is by no means unrestricted and that often there is a partial match between anaphor and antecedent. We argue that the presuppositions-as-anaphors approach of van der Sandt provides a natural sta…
