Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The missing element in online interactions compared to similar interactions in the past is copresence - the physical presence of both parties in the interaction. In face-to-face interactions, there are nonverbal cues like body language and facial expressions that contribute to communication, which is missing in online interactions.

Answer: C and D
 Emotion work and impression management are also missing from online interactions. Emotion work refers to the effort put in by individuals to manage and regulate their emotions during an interaction, which is often done through nonverbal cues. Impression management refers to the ways in which individuals control the impressions they make on others, which can also be done through nonverbal cues in face-to-face interactions. Both of these are limited or absent in online interactions.
