Kramer et al. (2006) prompts our examination of various measures
of linguistic behavior through LIWC that we couple with an
investigation of whether gender factors in verbal behavior differences.
We anticipate that differences in linguistic metrics related
to collaboration and inclusion will arise similar to Kramer et al.’s
(2006) findings of presence with ‘‘we’’ and ‘‘you’’ pronouns. Our
study aims to expand our understanding of how presence,
increased in an easily manipulated way, can influence social interactions
and include gender, a well-established factor in verbal
behavior, in that examination.
