How Self-Construal and Social Presence Influence Information Processing

We test and show how the social context moderates the effects of self-construal on information processing. By demonstrating how non-interactive social presence influences the type of processing by individuals with independent and interdependent self-construal, our research advances the literature that examines the effects of self-construal on information processing.
