Natalie Bazarova studies how people communicate and relate to one another in social media. Her recent research focuses on online self-disclosure and privacy, with some of her new papers examining disclosure motivations, interpretations, language of disclosure, and its social and psychological effects. In addition to disclosure, her research interests include attributional judgments, relational processes, intercultural communication, and group decision-making.
