CMC emotional support differs from FtF emotional support due to the absence of nonverbal cues that help communicators make inferences about the affect and identity of support providers. In some cases the sex of online support providers may not be clear. Because of sex-linked norms pertaining to offline support evaluation, questions arise about the gender attributions and support effectiveness from gender-ambiguous online support providers. This study applied the dual process theory of social support outcomes to a computer-mediated support context as well as examined how participants make anatomical-sexual projections onto gender ambiguous helpers who use a highly-person centered or low-person centered message in response to a distressed man's post in a computer-mediated context. Participants read highly-person centered and low-person centered messages from male, female, and gender-ambiguous helpers in response to a young man's distress post in an online discussion. Statistically significant results were found for the hypotheses about women preferring HPC helpers to LPC helpers (regardless of helper sex) and for the sex projections participants made onto the gender-ambiguous helpers. Implications and recommendations are made from the results about computer-mediated emotional support, FtF social support, and the hyperpersonal model.
