摘要
This investigation examined whether five relational maintenance behavior types, assessed via Stafford and Canary's (1991) Relational Maintenance Strategy Measure (RMSM), differ across face-to-face communication and instant messaging. Little's (1997) sequential tests suggested measurement invariance across these communicative contexts. Methodologically, these results commend the RMSM as a statistically sound tool for future online communication research.
