在线社区中开放式和直接式沟通的结构差异

Structural differences between open and direct communication in an online community

Fariba Karimi, Verónica C. Ramenzoni, Petter Holme

摘要:

大多数在线交流的研究都集中在开放的交流模式上(如论坛,公告板,Twitter等)。或直接(如电子邮件)。在这项工作中,我们研究了一个具有这两种类型的通信渠道的数据集。我们将我们的发现与社会组织和人类动力学理论联系起来。该数据包括电影讨论社区的36,492名用户。我们的研究结果表明,有不同的方式,用户沟通的两个渠道,反映在度和interevent时间分布的形状。开放式的沟通,旨在促进与任何成员的对话,显示出更广泛的度分布和更多的三角形在网络中主要形成这种模式的沟通。直接渠道可能是首选更密切的沟通和对话的响应时间较短。在更粗粒度的级别上,两个网络中存在共同的模式。因此,通信网络之间的差异和重叠为了解通信的社会和结构方面如何建立和演变提供了一个独特的窗口。

英文摘要:

Most research of online communication focuses on modes of communication that are either open (like forums, bulletin boards, Twitter, etc.) or direct (like e-mails). In this work, we study a dataset that has both types of communication channels. We relate our findings to theories of social organization and human dynamics. The data comprises 36,492 users of a movie discussion community. Our results show that there are differences in the way users communicate in the two channels that are reflected in the shape of degree- and interevent time distributions. The open communication that is designed to facilitate conversations with any member, shows a broader degree distribution and more of the triangles in the network are primarily formed in this mode of communication. The direct channel is presumably preferred by closer communication and the response time in dialogues is shorter. On a more coarse-grained level, there are common patterns in the two networks. The differences and overlaps between communication networks, thus, provide a unique window into how social and structural aspects of communication establish and evolve.
