Balasubramaniam, Jayanti (1987): Influence of Status on Group Interaction Processes: Electronic Mail versus Face-to-Face Discussions. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1355-1359.

“Experimental studies conducted by Siegel et al. (1986) revealed that members of decision making groups participated more equally in computer-mediated discussions than in face-to-face discussions. These studies dealt with groups of peers. The purpose of this study was to test whether computer media has an equalizing effect on participation of members of different formal statuses. The experimental design and procedure were similar to the previous study. The main difference was that each group included one high status member and three low status members and all members were of the same gender, in order to avoid effect of diffusion status. The experiment showed that, as expected, the computer media had equalizing effect on participation of group members of different formal status. While in face-to-face discussions, high status members initiated discussion more frequently, spoke more, and were more task-oriented than low status members, in computer-mediated discussions, these measures did not differ significantly for members of different statuses.”
