Impact of Politeness Theory on Text Messaging: A Comparative Study by Danielle Dumont

This study explores how politeness theory influences communication in text messaging compared to face-to-face interactions. Drawing on Brown & Levinson's (1987) concepts of positive and negative face, the research examines the alteration of communicator style when responding to requests via text. Methods include a literature review, survey with 22 participants (12 female, 10 male) using Likert scale questions. Results and findings suggest potential areas for future research, such as generational comparison, race/ethnicity, and cultural influences.
