Abstract

Existing theories within interpersonal (IPC) and intergroup communication (IGC) have not yet explained when online interactions are initially intergroup in nature, interpersonal, or both. We address this undertheorized conundrum—which is particularly challenging as more communication occurs on social media, in which a multitude of goals may converge—by proposing the dual-process model of interpersonal–intergroup communication (IPC–IPG). Focusing on both the situation and a multiple goals perspective, this model can help explain where on the interpersonal–intergroup continuum online interactions fall. The ability to understand and articulate the antecedents and processes that may guide initial interactions can enhance future work by providing a mechanism through which to theorize which set(s) of theory may be most applicable to explain or predict a communicative situation and its outcomes.

提出一种双过程模型来解释社交媒体中人际与群体间的沟通

人际交往（IPC）和群体间交流（IGC）中的现有理论尚未解释在线互动最初是群体间性质的、人际交往的还是两者兼有的。我们通过提出人际-群体间沟通的双过程模型（IPC–IPG）来解决这一理论不足的难题——随着社交媒体上出现更多的沟通，这一难题尤其具有挑战性，在社交媒体上，许多目标可能会趋同。该模型既着眼于情境，又着眼于多目标视角，有助于解释人际-群体间连续在线互动的现状。理解和阐明可能指导最初互动的前因和过程的能力可以通过提供一种机制来增强未来的工作，通过这种机制来理论化哪一套理论最适用于解释或预测交际情境及其结果。
