Answer :

How Hyperpersonal Indonesians Are? A Study of Hyperpersonal

Communicaton on Self Disclosure on VMC

This study examines whether online users enhance self-disclosure on

video-mediated communication, how and why they do so within the framework
of hyperpersonal. this research is interested in studying how users interact
online in VMC. This interest is stemmed from Walther's idea that in the text-
based CMC people are capable of doing hyperpersonal communication.
Hyperpersonal model of communication provides four key elements in
building interaction online: receiver, sender, channel characteristics, and
feedback processes.Moreover, studies on the measurement of communication
effectiveness by comparing the text-based CMC or asynchronous CMC with
synchronous CMC become interesting.
The studies on how CMC affects the level of self-disclosure have been
done by scholars whose findings showed that CMC provides users opportunity
to disclose themselves to others, Lea and Spears argued that the presence of
physical cues is irrelevant to measure the level of relationship development in
CMC.

Selective Self-Presentation Through Video-Mediated Communication:

A Study of Hyperpersonal Communication

The study is conducted to determine whether the online users in VMC

perform selective self-presentation under conditions when nonverbal cues exist
and the interlocutor is not anonymous. VMC provides features which are
unavailable in text-based CMC: nonverbal cues presence and channel
synchronicity.

Text-based CMC which has limited nonverbal cues makes receiver interprets the
message from the sender excessively, increasing sender's impression which is
formed by the receiver. In CMC, sender has more time creating desired self-
presentation.Asynchronous nature of CMC and physical cues absence support
senders to enhance their self-presentation than in FtF.
Concerning to character of CMC channel which allows users to create messages
selectively, there is another idea supports Walther's hyperpersonal
communication.Moreover, studies on the measurement of communication
effectiveness by comparing the text-based CMC or asynchronous CMC with
synchronous CMC become interesting. Selective Self-Presentation on Computer-
Mediated Communication Visual cues displayed in communication process on
online spaces have possibility to be selected and edited before transmitting.

Text-Based Computer-Mediated Communication On Thesis Supervision

Through Whatsapp In Pandemic Era

Another process that is important in the teaching and learning process in

universities is the process of thesis supervision which before the pandemic used
to be held face-to-face,Lecturers and students of the Department of
Communication Science, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta use WhatsApp
as a text-based Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) platform in
conducting thesis supervision.This research aim is to understand how CMC
perspectives are developed between thesis supervisors and their students in
thesis supervision process using WhatsApp.
Thesis supervision is a process that requires intense communication
between the supervising lecturers and their students.The consideration of
choosing what type on online platform in thesis supervision is based on the
advantages and disadvantages of each platform,WhatsApp is the most used in
the thesis supervision process.Text-based computer-mediated communication
through WhatsApp on the one hand is considered to have shortcomings due to
the limited nature of the communication that occurs.This obstructed
communication raises problem of whether the supervision process can run
smoothly so that it does not hinder the completion of student thesis.

-Walther

The ubiquity of CMC is not sufficient impetus for it to be a focus of study

in interpersonal communication research.How CMC changes our messages-how
they are constructed, whether for specific relational purposes or with lesser or
greater effect-remain important questions that continue to drive inquiry in
interpersonal CMC research.How do disclosures and affectations influence
others and ourselves, and how do online interpersonal processes affect the
instrumental and group dynamics that technology enables,How do we exploit
existing technologies for relational purposes, and how do we evade the potential
dampening effects that technologies otherwise may impose on relational
communication.
Any of these approaches provide glimpses into the changing landscape of
interpersonal communication and CMC. Moreover, to describe what people are
doing interpersonally with CMC today would be to invite obsolescence very
quickly, given the pace of change in communication and technology. These
concerns involve the role of face-to-face comparisons in technology-focused
research, the potential impact of new technologies on earlier CMC theories, and
the implications of multimodality in relationships (i.e., how to learn about the
usage of a variety of communication systems within any single relationship).
Cues-Filtered-Out TheoriesAs numerous reviews have reflected, Culnan and
Markus (1987) coined the term cues-filtered-out to describe a group of theories
sharing the premise that CMC has no nonverbal cues and therefore occludes the
accomplishment of social functions that typically involve those cues. Social
Presence TheorySocial presence theory was imported from teleconferencing
research as one of the first analytic frameworks applied to CMC.These critiques
challenged several assumptions of the social presence model and identified
artifacts in the research protocols that supported its application to CMC.Despite
the demise of social presence in some quarters of CMC research, extensive
research and definition efforts have continued with respect to the role of
presence with regard to settings such as virtual reality and computer-based
gaming.
