Dear AoIR members: Important Correction re Barry Wellman, Anabel Quan Haase, Keith Hampton and James Witte, "Does the Internet Increase, Decrease, or Supplement Social Capital? Social Networks, Participation, and Community Commitment." _American Behavioral Scientist_, 45, 3 (November 2001): 437-56. Please note that this paper was presented at The AOIR INTERConnections 2. Conference [Session # 434: Social Capital] We regret that one set of results (about Community Commitment) in this paper misinterpreted an important association. We stated in this paper (Table 6 and pages 449-50) that the greater the use of the Internet, the Lower the Sense of Online Community. However, this General Sense of Online Community variable, and the two other variables presented in Table 6 (Sense of Community with Family Online, Sense of Alienation Online) were coded with higher sense of community as the lowest value. Thus, the negative regression coefficients reported in Table 6 should have their signs reversed. Substantively, this means that the More the Internet is used, the Greater the Sense of Online Community. The other two "Sense" variables are also positively, but very slightly, associated with the frequency of Internet use. These revised findings mean that the interpretation of results on pages 449-50 is inoperative. A corrected version of these findings will be posted soon to www.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman, and a revised and expanded chapter will appear in Barry Wellman and Caroline Haythornthwaite, eds., _The Internet in Everyday Life_ (Oxford: Blackwell, 2002). Sincerely, Anabel Quan Haase Faculty of Information Studies, University of Toronto -----------------------------------------------------------------------
