Social presence theory

Social presence theory explores how the "sense of being with another" is influenced by digital interfaces in human-computer interactions.^[1] Developed from the foundations of interpersonal communication and symbolic interactionism, social presence theory was first formally introduced by John Short, Ederyn Williams, and Bruce Christie in The Social Psychology of Telecommunications.^[2] Research on social presence theory has recently developed to examine the efficacy of telecommunications media, including SNS communications.^[3] The theory notes that computer-based communication is lower in social presence than face-to-face communication, but different computer-based communications can affect the levels of social presence between communicators and receivers.^[4]
