ABSTRACT

An empirical study was conducted focusing on the effect of empathic accuracy and response type on online interpersonal trust in textual IM. The results suggest both empathic accuracy and response type have significant influence on online interpersonal trust. However, the interaction between empathic accuracy and response type is the dominant factor on interpersonal trust. The results also imply an interesting relationship between general trust attitude and online interpersonal trust.
