"Hypotheses

We are now in a position to state the hypotheses we studied in the experiment. The first three concern uniqueness:

  1. H1: People contribute more to online communities

when shown personalized uniqueness information.

  1. H2: People given uniqueness information exploit this

information when participating in the community.

  1. H3: People like being shown uniqueness information.

We also stated two hypotheses about similarity:

  1. H4: People contribute more to online communities

when they are in a discussion group with others similar to themselves.

  1. H5: People can identify similar people through online

community interaction.

Finally, we stated one additional hypothesis:

  1. H6: Users who are active MovieLens raters will be

most active in the discussion groups."
