“…Understanding how adolescents use text messaging requires examining with whom they communicate and what they say in their ongoing daily interactions. Most recent research on text messaging involves college or young adult samples (e.g., Holtzman et al, ; Hsieh & Tseng, ; Ishii, Rife, & Kagawa, ; McEwan & Horn, ; Ouelette & Michaud, ). Almost all studies rely on survey data (e.g., Abeele et al, ; Gallimberti et al, ; Grover et al, ; Ishii et al, ; Lenhart, ; Ling, ; McEwan & Horn, ; Nesi, Widman, Choukas‐Bradley, & Prinstein, ).…”

“…Only a few previous studies have investigated positive features of text messaging. An online survey of young adults in Taiwan found that text messaging with emoticons afforded individuals the ability to convey a variety of meanings, personalization and emotion within messages (termed “information richness”), which contributed to perceiving mobile messaging as playful (Hsieh & Tseng, ). An online survey study found that college students who find technology to be gratifying are more likely to report satisfaction and competence in text messaging (Ishii et al, ).…”

Co-construction theory suggests adolescents use digital communication to address developmental challenges. For a sample of 214 ethnically diverse adolescents, this research used direct observation to investigate the frequency, content, and timing of texting with parents, peers, and romantic partners through grades 9-12. Analyses showed that texting frequency follows a curvilinear trajectory, peaking in eleventh grade. Adolescents discussed a range of topics, predominantly with peers. Communication with parents was less frequent, but consistent over time. Approximately 45-65% of adolescents communicated with romantic partners, texting heavily and about topics similar to those discussed with peers. Texting may help adolescents navigate key developmental challenges of adolescence-the establishment of autonomy, intimate peer relationships, romantic relationships, and self-identity.

“…CMC resolved this intercultural aspect by providing various emoji serving as nonverbal messages which conveyed emotion and feelings. Previous studies argued emoji usage successfully delivered the intended meaning of MMA users and increased social connectedness and emotional bonds [22][31], [32]. In the end, the emphasis of CMC strategy in coping with CA rests on transforming cultures into nonverbal features that can best moderate CA level.…”

Anxiety to communicate in front of public is significantly associated with how individuals cope with and adjust to the stress of apprehension. Studies across multiple disciplines have investigated connections among Communication Apprehension (CA), instructional communication (e.g. language and various discipline applications), coping strategies (e.g. computer-mediated communication features), and psychological behaviors (e.g. introvert and extrovert traits). However, there has not been yet a systematic review of this discourse to date. This study explored 23 research articles and summarized how CA and coping tend to focus much on students and little to teachers, particularly pre-service ones. The exposure on students includes CA profile, demographics, causes, and remedy approaches. Communication scholars contribute to innovation of reducing CA level using computer-mediated communication. Yet, face-to-face interactions might potentially decrease pre-service teacher's CA level taking into account his cultural background and power which he would exercise to boost his confidence. Further research on this particular topic is worth investigating in the future.
