“…In addition to users' posting behaviors, we also wanted to examine whether the exposure to different types of social support would impact a user's engagement. An individual may enter or exit a community not only based on his/her own expectation and behavior, but also based on the community's expectations and behaviors regarding this individual [21].…”

Abstract. Online health communities (OHCs) have become a major source of social support for people with health problems. Members of OHCs interact online with those who face similar problems and are involved in different types of social supports, such as informational support, emotional support and companionship. Using a case study of an OHC among breast cancer survivors, we first use machine learning techniques to reveal the types of social support embedded in each post from an OHC. Then we generate each user's contribution profile by aggregating the user's involvement in various types of social support and reveal that users play different roles in the OHC. By comparing online activities for users with different roles and conducting survival analysis on users' time span of online activities, we illustrate that users' levels of engagement in an OHC are related to various types of social support in different ways.

“…Work trends currently are towards 'frictionless,' 'nomadic' architecture (Bean and Hamilton 2006), such as hot-desking (Hirst 2011), flexible open plan layouts and ubiquitous, mobile technologies (Ciolfi and Bannon 2005). The structures of social communities also change over time as the group's members and configuration change (Levine and Moreland 1994). These mean that individuals are highly mobile, and that community members are often not co-located.…”

The UK government has set ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions, and lowering energy demand within workplaces is important to help meet these. With the rollout of smart metres and the availability of more fine-grained energy monitoring equipment for the workplace, it is increasingly possible to disaggregate collective energy consumption and apportion this among building users. This article presents an interdisciplinary perspective on the rationale and feasibility of different approaches to apportionment to motivate staff to reduce energy consumption. Our review indicates greatest potential for energy saving when consumption is apportioned to small to medium-sized groups, rather than individuals or entire buildings, particularly when they represent existing communities to which staff members strongly identify. We highlight the complexity of technical, psychological, social and organisational factors that not only inspire, but also often confound, efforts to innovate in this area.

“…The reverse is that individuals in social isolation have the need to have a relationship (Jahn, 2004) (Levine & Moreland, 1994) (Stark & Bainbridge, 1980). This explanation is fundamental to explain the interest of individuals to be member in a group.…”

“…The result of the observation and comparability of the other individual influence the satisfaction and desires (Cook, 1984). One more difficulty is to measure satisfaction because the objective and subjective perspective can be different (Levine & Moreland, 1994).…”
