Ziel des Forschungsprojekts ist es, die persönliche Wahrnehmung von Smartphone-vermittelter Kommunikation und dem Interaktionspartner zu untersuchen. Dazu werden zwei Laborexperimente mit insgesamt 200 jungen Erwachsenen im Alter von 18 bis 35 Jahren im Kanton Tessin durchgeführt. Es werden typische Eigenschaften der Kommunikation wie z.B. zeitversetzte Interaktion, der Gebrauch von Emoticons und Nachrichtenvalenz manipuliert. Die persönliche Wahrnehmung wird mit Hilfe eines Post-Fragebogens gemessen. Darüber hinaus werden im zweiten Experiment physiologische Daten wie z.B. Herzfrequenz und elektrodermale Aktivität erhoben. Die Kombination von subjektiven und objektiven Daten schafft ein noch besseres Verständnis der persönlichen Wahrnehmung von Smartphone-vermittelter Kommunikation.

Abstract
In 2018, almost everybody in Switzerland owns a smartphone, which has become a ubiquitous device in our daily lives, especially among younger populations. Although smartphones offer a wide range of functionalities, instant messaging remains among the most popular and used ones. Including text-based conversations potentially complemented by visual elements such as emoticons or images, instant messaging offers a rich way of one-to-one or group communication. However, the dislocations of time and space during the conversation remains a considerable difference compared to face-to-face communication. Although past research has investigated the differential effects of online and offline communication, smartphone-mediated communication was oftentimes considered a black box. Only recently, researchers have started to open the black box and disentangle the effects of different aspects of instant messaging as a popular form of smartphone-mediated communication.In the current project, we follow up on this by conducting two experimental studies where we will manipulate synchronicity (immediate or delayed interactions), modality (e.g., text or text with visual elements), and message valence (e.g., positive or negative). Furthermore, we will test what effect these features of smartphone-mediated communication and their interaction (e.g. a positive message combined with emoticons) have on subjective experience, in terms of emotional arousal, perceived social presence, interpersonal trust, and social provision. Both studies are laboratory experiments with young adults, aged 18 to 35, in Canton Ticino. Participants will engage in a one-to-one instant chat with a fictitious peer over a smartphone device, upon which self-report evaluations of the constructs of interest are collected. An innovative aspect of the current project is the use of psychophysiological correlates (heartrate and electrodermal activity) in addition to self-report evaluations. The combination of subjective and objective measures leads to a better understanding of personal experiences during smartphone-mediated communication. As such, the current project provides new valuable information, which can be used as a starting point for future research including experimental observations in natural settings, over time, paying more attention to smartphone addictive behaviors, and considering even younger age populations. Future research addressing these aspects can eventually shed light on how communication through digital mobile technologies influences human development.
