This article presents a qualitative analysis about the perception of Social Presence in interactions mediated by mobile devices, focusing on the particularities associated with the absence or the decrease of non-verbal clues (which usually occur in this modality). The data came from a survey conducted with 120 young university students from six Brazilian cities. In general, the narratives showed difficulties in the perception of social presence due to the overlapping of demands and social expectations derived from the two interactional modalities: mobile devices and face to face encounters.Downloads
