Sense of Community in a Mediate World: Work at Home
2011. Independent research to follow up on dissertation results with a new community type. Fielding Graduate University IRB approved.
Sense of Community in a Mediate World
2011. Dissertation.
The ways we interact with and through media are constantly evolving. One of the areas this impacts is how we create and maintain communities, which can now be supported by or built through mediated interactions. Past research has concentrated on separating online communities from offline communities, but this research compares sense of community across online communities as well as offline communities. Results show that there are differences in the strength of sense of community between different online communities, and that there are also differences between online and offline communities. This suggests that in future research we should look at community features beyond online/offline interaction. Additionally, participants answered open-ended questions describing sense of community, and analysis indicates that four traditional sense of community factors remain relevant across online and offline communities: Shared Emotional Connection, Influence, Membership, and Integration and Fulfillment of Needs. As media continue to influence our community interactions, and mobile connections weave our online and offline interactions together, the ability to understand sense of community as an element that can transcend mediation will allow us to explore community even as it changes.
