网络空间中的虚拟社区是否促进了社会资本和社会支持？使用参与者观察和话语分析，我们研究了一个母亲董事会在父母的网站，并调查是否存在社会资本，如果是这样，它是如何开发和使用。我们发现三种主要类型的沟通出现从我们的分析：情感支持，工具支持-正式和非正式的，社区建设/保护，所有这些都有助于创造和维护社会资本。此外，使用替换抽样，我们创建了一个包含180位母亲的最终数据集，并报告了描述性统计数据，以确定董事会成员的特征。
Do virtual communities in cyberspace foster social capital and social support? Using participant observation and discourse analysis, we examine a mothering board on a parent's website and investigate whether social capital was present, and if so, how it was developed and used. We find three main types of communication emerge from our analysis: emotional support, instrumental support - both formal and informal, and community building/protection, all of which contribute to the creation and maintenance of social capital. Additionally, using sampling with replacement, we created a final data set of 180 mothers and report descriptive statistics to identify characteristics of those on the board.
