Notes.
p<.05. Between-person correlations are below the diagonal and within-person correlations are above. Async/Sync = Asynchronous versus synchronous digital communication. Communication Medium (0 = face-to-face; 1 = digital) and Async/Sync (0 = Text/instant messaging; 1 = Phone/Skype) are binary variables. Social Anxiety was measured at the trait level. N/A = no within correlations for Social Anxiety, which is a person-level variable. Positive and Negative emotions were scored on 0–4 scales.
