“…Although initial research into the diffusion effect dealt with offline emergency situations (Darley & Latané, 1968a), similar effects have recently been observed online, in message board requests to strangers (Markey, 2000) and email requests from a university colleague (Blair et al, 2005). Also, research has shown that the diffusion of responsibility effect is likely stronger in situations where there is low potential for immediate danger to the victim (Fisher et al, 2006).…”

“…In one example, researchers posted requests for help in a public, online message board. Message board participants were more likely to quickly respond to the requests when there were fewer active, online posters on the board, particularly when the bystander was not asked directly by name for help (Markey, 2000). Another study found that the likelihood of helping in response to an email request declined when the email message indicated that multiple recipients were contacted (Blair, Thompson, & Wuensch, 2005).…”

“…Studies have revealed that bystanders were more likely to offer help when there were fewer other posters active on an online message board (Markey, 2000;Voelpel et al, 2008), and individuals are less likely to respond to an email request when the email is sent to multiple recipients (Blair et al, 2005). Relating to bullying (and cyberbullying) specifically, researchers have alluded to the diffusion of responsibility effect when examining possible predictors of bystander intervention (e.g., Gini, 2006;O'Connel et al, 1999;Olweus, 2001;Salmivalli, 2010), but to date have not specifically examined the role of the number of bystanders in bullying episodes.…”

“…By incorporating the results and methods traditionally used by social and personality researchers, a better understanding of interactions in Internet chat rooms can be achieved (Markey, 2000). To accomplish this, the Social Relations Model (SRM) (Kenny, 1994) is used to explore personality perception in Internet chat rooms by examining (a) the degree of consensus and assimilation for traits within the FFM during one-on-one and group interactions, (b) the agreement and differences between how targets see themselves and how judges perceive them, and (c) whether individuals' personality and chat room experience can predict how much they are liked by judges.…”

Accurate personality judgments are important for successful interpersonal interactions. Because millions of people use the Internet everyday to create and maintain interpersonal relationships, the current study investigated interpersonal perception in Internet chat rooms. Participants were 156 undergraduate students who interacted in chat rooms for 15 min either one-on-one or in groups of six. Using the Social Relations Model (Kenny, 1994), it was found that in one-on-one interactions, judges were able to achieve consensus for the targets' traits of extraversion, agreeableness, and openness. For extraversion and openness, this agreement corresponded with targets' self-perceptions. Unlike research using face-to-face interactions, consensus was highest and assimilation was lowest when participants interacted one-on-one. Judges in group interactions tended to like the targets less and viewed them less favorably across all personality traits than did judges in one-on-one interactions. Targets' self-reported personality had little predictive power in determining who was liked in Internet chat rooms. However, targets' prior chat room experience was consistently found to be a moderate predictor of likability. Interpersonal perception is crucial to our ability to complete daily social activities. We must be able to perceive something about the people we interact with in order to know whether we should respond to them, trust them, or even befriend them. For this reason, many researchers during the past several decades have focused on determining the reliability and accuracy with which people perceive others' personalities during face-to-face interactions (Funder, 1999;Kenny, 1994). While the majority of this research has demonstrated that people tend to be reliable and accurate judges of personality, it is unclear whether less direct forms of communication (e.g., Internet chat rooms) render enough information for individuals to make reliable judgments.

“…An important task for a vital online community is to motivate people to join and contribute over a long period of time. This also makes an online community more interesting for non-members and lowers the bar to passively follow and finally to join it (Markey, P. M. 2000).…”

For decades, film, video, and television have been entertaining a global audience and delivering important information or news. However, in recent years the Internet added a novel distribution channel for film, bypassing established routes like TV broadcasts and thus, changing the way TV and film are consumed. These scripted episodic and sometimes experimental videos for the web are often labeled as webisodes. While the distribution of webisodes is mainly characterized by ondemand online streaming the act of creating this novel format is highly diverse, highly cooperative and draws heavily on information technology. This work in progress paper is a first step to better understand this community. To this end, we recruited and interviewed eight persons, four producers of traditional films and four producers of webisodes. From our data we derived a set of observations and claims that we use for discussion and future research.
