Abstract;
People are expected to be available online 24/7, yet this
is simply not possible. When exactly do people
purposefully ignore communication attempts, how does
this make others feel, and how does their social
environment affect this? We explore different aspects
surrounding these questions, including social
communication like social personality traits,
relationship affect, and message context. This Pictorial
describes our processes in designing, creating, and
analyzing two iterations of a culture probe surrounding
these questions.
The research findings show an unexpectedly high
involvement of emotions, and our suggestions for
future work include more research into this.
