Online identity and language use were examined in terms of the disclosure of personal information, sexual identity, emotive features, and semantic themes. Male and female teenagers presented themselves similarly in their blogs, often revealing personal information such as their real names, ages, and locations. Males more so than females used emoticons, employed an active and resolute style of language, and were more likely to present themselves as gay. The results suggest that teenagers stay closer to reality in their online expressions of self than has previously been suggested, and that these explorations involve issues, such as learning about their sexuality, that commonly occur during the adolescent years.

The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. In this essay, I discuss the implications of these problems for the conduct and interpretation of research. Why most published research findings are false.

Resources such as perspectival angle, plane of composition and gaze are used to investigate stereotyped portrayals of males and females. Goffman's work, Gender Advertisements, forms the basis for hypotheses about how male and female participants would be represented in terms of eight dimensions of visual structure, derived from Kress and Van Leeuwen's system of analysis. Hypotheses were largely confirmed, indicating that gender stereotyping was still significant in the sample of Australian magazines analysed more than two decades after Goffman's analysis was first published. However, several results did not confirm the hypotheses or were contrary to the direction of differences predicted. Three types of explanations for exceptions to the hypotheses are discussed: first, the need for some degree of supplementary macrocosmic or contextual analysis; second, the possibility of socially determined changes in some features of stereotyped portrayals; and third, limitations in the functional semiotic framework of analysis adopted in this study.

This is done at two levels, which, although related, are analysed separately. The first concerns the logic of production of social representations. It concerns, therefore, social representations in the public sphere. It is suggested that the public sphere, as the place of the generalised other, is constitutive of social representations, in that it provides the ground for their emergence. The second level examines the problem of social representations of the public sphere. I discuss the moment at which something like a ”public” becomes a conceivable to social actors, its relation to a private sphere of intimacy and the ways in which, the very transformations which the public space undergoes, institute individualism as the ultimate expression of personal life. I argue that to look at the form and content symbolic representations of public life is crucial to assess contemporary experiences of selfhood and the possibilities of preserving a sensus communis.

This review examines the current state of knowledge on (a) who reads, i.e., the demographic characteristics of readers; (b) how they read, i.e., reading as a form of social practice; (c) how reading relates to electronic media, especially television and the Internet; and (d) the future of reading. We conclude that a reading class is emerging, restricted in size but disproportionate in influence, and that the Internet is facilitating this development.

It does so by considering how technology has been presented in turn as an epistemological boon and bane in methodological discourse around virtual or online ethnography, and cyberanthropology. It maps these discussions with regards to intellectual traditions and ambitions of ethnographic research and social science, and considers how these views of technology relate to modernist discourse about the value of technology for producing a particular kind of objective knowledge. For this article, I have examined a number of monographs and methodological texts in which the internet, as both a new setting and a new technology for doing ethnography, is shown to raise new issues for ethnographic work and for theorising anthropological approaches. In this material, questions of presence, field relations (including trust and confidentiality), and new possibilities for observation are especially prominently discussed. Anxieties about whether the internet can be a field at all are also expressed. In my analysis, I place these issues and dilemmas facing the researcher in the context of the intellectual tradition of ethnography as applied to technology. The main themes found to subtend these discussions of ethnography’s ‘way of knowing’ are the notion of ‘field’, technology, intersubjectivity and capture. The paper ends with a reflection on the kind of knowledge about the internet that ethnography can be expected to produce, given these methodological prescriptions.

We conducted open-ended interviews with members of a university research center, discussing their experiences and habits reading blogs or maintaining their own. Our sample contained seasoned bloggers, recent ones, active blog readers who didn't blog themselves, “drop-outs,” one subject who was contemplating starting to blog, as well as members of the community who neither maintained nor read blogs. Our findings highlight the connections between online and offline interactions, showing how involvement in blogging is dependent on having friends who are actively involved, and we discuss the mechanisms underlying this connection.

We analyze turn-taking and response patterns in light of Sacks, Schegloff and Jefferson's (1974) model of turn allocation in face-to-face conversation, taking into consideration the independent variable of participant gender. We also analyze use of, and responses to, flirtation in the chat room. Our results show that females participate more often and receive a higher rate of response from both females and males. Males, who are in the minority, must work harder to take the floor, even in their attempted flirtatious interactions. These results suggest that gender interacts with culture online in complex ways: Contrary to previous findings on gender in chat rooms, and contrary to culturally-based expectations about the subordinate status of Thai women, females appear to be relatively empowered in the Thai chat room studied here, as assessed through turn allocation patterns.

Fraser and Alexander disagree on whether or not claims to a general “common good” or “common humanity” are democratically legitimate in light of systemic inequality. Fraser rejects the idea that cultural integration can be democratic in conditions of social inequality, while Alexander accepts it and tries to explain how it may be realized. In order to address this debate, I analyze the cultural foundations of the female-led, maternally themed social movements of nineteenth-century America. The language of these movements supports Alexander's position over Fraser's, though it also suggests that Alexander is mistaken in the specifics of his cultural theory of a general and democratic “common good.” While Alexander's model of integration is structured uniquely by what he and Philip Smith have called “the discourse of civil society,” the evidence suggests a distinctly alternative, equally democratic code at play in this case, which I have labeled a discourse of affection and compassion.

Both participant observation and interviews indicate that there is a clear interplay between members "off-line" and "on-line" communities. Women who are socially and geographically isolated and live away from Muslim communities attempt to gain more information and support on-line. They look for more face-to-face and off-line interaction to reduce their feeling of isolation. Members are different in regard to the kinds of support they gain on-line. For converts who live in isolation from others of the same faith, the on-line communication is a source of support religiously. For members who are born Muslim, it mostly serves as a source of information and help. The different types of support which these Muslim women provide on-line is also explored.

(2000), pp. 3-37.</i><br /><br />Some mass communications scholars have contended that uses and gratifications is not a rigorous social science theory. In this article, I argue just the opposite, and any attempt to speculate on the future direction of mass communication theory must seriously include the uses and gratifications approach. In this article, I assert that the emergence of computer-mediated communication has revived the significance of use and gratifications. In fact, uses and gratifications has always provided a cutting-edge theoretical approach in the initial stages of each new mass communications medium: newspapers, radio and television, and now the Internet. Although scientists are likely to continue using traditional tools and typologies to answer questions about media use, we must also be prepared to expand our current theoretical models of uses and gratifications. Contemporary and future models must include concepts such as interactivity, demassification, hypertextuality, and asynchroneity. Researchers must also be willing to explore interpersonal and qualitative aspects of mediated communication in a more holistic methodology.

The paper shows why this has occurred, and it develops a new typology that can make the concept useful again in sociology. The new typology is based on identifying structurally distinct subtypes of community using a small number of partitioning variables. The first partition is defined by the ultimate context of interaction; the second by the primary motivation for interaction; the third by rates of interaction and location of members; and the fourth by the amount of face-to-face as opposed to computer-mediated interaction. This small number of partitioning variables yields eight major subtypes of community. The paper shows how and why these major subtypes are related to important variations in the behavioral and organizational outcomes of community. The paper also seeks to resolve some disagreements between classical liberalism and communitarians. It shows that only a few of the major subtypes of community are likely to be as illiberal and intolerant as the selective imagery of classical liberals asserts, while at the same time only a few are prone to generate as much fraternalism and equity as the selective imagery of communitarians suggests. The paper concludes by discussing the forms of community that are best suited to the modern world.

This article analyzes postings to the WELL conferences and the online groups that served as incubators and testing ground for the term "virtual community," revealing how this concept was culturally shaped by the countercultural ideals of WELL users and how the tension between individualism and communitarian ideals was dealt with. The overarching conclusion is that virtual communities act both as solvent and glue in modern society, being similar to the "small group" movement.

This paper analyzes, using the ethnomethodological approach Membership Categorization Analysis, formulations of place and identity in tourists accounts of their activities in a UK National Park. Analysis focuses on the way interviewees construct a particular "spatio-moral" order of places and types of tourists, through formulations of activities in tourism sites, descriptions of scenes and terrain, and stories about other users' normative and transgressive uses of space. Overall, identity claims are practical achievements that are embedded in talk about places. PLACE AND IDENTITY IN TOURISTS' ACCOUNTS Scott Mccabe Elizabeth Stokoe doi:10.1016/j.annals.2004.01.005 Annals of Tourism Research, Vol. 31, No. 3.

These tourists are construed as narrators, whose identity stories, in which the powerful experience of self-change is constructed and communicated, are founded on, and rhetorically validated by the unique experiences of authenticity and adventure. The relation between the travel narrative, attesting to an external voyage toward an "authentic" destination, and the self-change narrative, attesting to an internal one, is examined in light of two major discourses in tourism: the semi-religious and the Romanticist. The paper addresses the sociocultural context, that of contemporary Israeli culture, against which the self-change narratives construct a collective notion of identity, and wherein they can be viewed as effective performances.

"General" stereotypes attribute very general traits to persons and are used to explain the observed behavior of tourists. The unrelated "specific" stereotypes provide precise descriptions of what tourists want and how they act in business situations: they are used as guides to conducting business with tourists. Both kinds of stereotype are based on ideas learned from others or created anew from observations. Both are tested by observation or experiment. However, use of a strategy suggested by a "specific" stereotype can direct tourists into the stereotyped behavior. The resulting mutual accommodation between native and tourist may have the paradoxical result of confirming inaccurate ethnic stereotypes.

It studies their accounts to discern whether these can be illuminated by the notion of "transition": that is, whether their stories provide evidence that long-term travel provides a neutral, transitional zone sandwiched between voluntary or imposed endings and new beginnings. The personal "endings" that provide the impetus for undertaking long-term journeys and the travelers' anticipations of new beginnings are considered. The significance of place (specifically the Australian Outback) in these transitions is also explored.

The article focuses on the international context and cross-national influences, the nature of the state, the absence or presence of other movements, the effects of conservative or liberal political environments, the effects of centralization or dispersion within the movement itself and on feminist involvement in political parties and elections. Because each of these factors shapes a particular movement, the article concludes that there cannot be one correct feminism.
