인터넷 게시판을 통한 커뮤니케이션에서는 상호작용의 결과물이 지속적으로 남아 있어, 상호작용의 당사자뿐 아니라 나중에 참여하는 다른 이용자들의 게시판에 대한 지각에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 인터넷 게시판에서의 이용자들 간의 상호작용은 게시판의 기술적 형식이나 주제뿐 아니라 게시판에 있는 기존 이용자들의 메시지를 읽고 받은 인상에 따라서도 달라질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 게시판의 익명성과 메시지의 전문성을 독립변인으로 한 $2{\times}2$ 실험설계에 따라 가상적 CMC 상황에서 피험자들이 영화 리뷰 게시판의 글을 읽도록 하였다. 게시판 기존 이용자 집단에 대해 받은 인상의 긍정성, 모호성, 전문성, 피험자 자신과의 지각된 유사성 및 해당 게시판에 대한 참여의사를 측정하였다. 결과, 전문성이 높은 메시지를 읽은 피험자들은 게시판의 기존 이용자들이 보다 전문적이라는 인상을 받았으며, 해당 게시판에 참여하고자 하는 의사를 더 많이 표시했다. 또한 기존 이용자들에 대한 인상의 긍정성과 유사성, 참여의사 사이에는 상관관계가 있었다. 이 결과는 인터넷 게시판 이용이 기술적 요인뿐만 아니라 게시판의 기존 이용자 집단에 대한 인상에 따라서도 달라질 수 있음을 시사한다.

First, this study analyzed the effect of users' individual characteristics on the perceived interactivity. As a result, hypochondriasis had a negative relationship with perceived interactivity, and health literacy had a positive relationship with it.
