在线参与与面对面参与的平等:社区论坛审议方法示范的浓缩分析
Equality of Participation Online Versus Face to Face: Condensed Analysis of the Community Forum Deliberative Methods Demonstration
摘要:
在线审议可以为公众参与提供一个比面对面更具成本效益和/或更少抑制的环境。但是,在线方法是否会使参与偏向某些个人或群体?我们比较F2 F与在线参与实验提供内的参与者和跨模态比较。对于英语为母语的人,需要有互联网接入作为参与的条件,我们发现没有负面影响的在线模式的平等参与(EOP)有关的性别,年龄,或教育水平。相对于F2 F,异步在线讨论似乎改善了性别的EoP。数据表明,在线环境对黑人参与者的抑制作用,以及对白人的放大作用。同步在线语音通信EoP与个人之间的F2 F不相上下。但个人层面的EoP在在线论坛中要低得多,更大的在线论坛参与预示着个人更大的F2 F参与。将测量的参与率与自我报告的经历进行比较,并讨论其他发现。
英文摘要:
Online deliberation may provide a more cost-effective and/or less inhibiting environment for public participation than face to face (F2F). But do online methods bias participation toward certain individuals or groups? We compare F2F versus online participation in an experiment affording within-participants and cross-modal comparisons. For English speakers required to have Internet access as a condition of participation, we find no negative effects of online modes on equality of participation (EoP) related to gender, age, or educational level. Asynchronous online discussion appears to improve EoP for gender relative to F2F. Data suggest a dampening effect of online environments on black participants, as well as amplification for whites. Synchronous online voice communication EoP is on par with F2F across individuals. But individual-level EoP is much lower in the online forum, and greater online forum participation predicts greater F2F participation for individuals. Measured rates of participation are compared to self-reported experiences, and other findings are discussed.
