The loss of non-verbal cues did not play as significant a role as initially perceived by the participants, at least not within the time allotted for dyads to work together. An important item to note is that participants believed they could predict the emotional state of their partner more accurately in FTF communication over CMC communication. This strong belief was not backed up by the partners successfully being able to describe the emotions their partners felt. But it is interesting that despite participants not being able to do so, the FTF dyads felt that their medium was much easier to determine the emotional states of their partners.
