This suggests that “wearing a mask” in cyberspace may reduce anxiety in deceiving others. Additionally, deceivers are more likely to choose avatars that are different from their real selves. The results also show that the use of avatars in a computer-mediated chat environment does not have an impact on one's perceived trustworthiness. katiebda Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:19:22 +0000 research april07 deception trust identity http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/index.php?id=2319 Two researchers at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln have completed a study on “deception in cyberspace,” and they’ve hit on something pretty interesting: In text-based chat rooms, people who are lying generally get anxious.
