Hello, Mia. Talking about Internet and Trust, I can mention the problem of social capital, which is closely related to the question of trust. Barry Wellman has several publications about it:"How does the Internet Affect Social Capital" ( www.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman/publications/internetsocialcapital/Net_SC-09.PDF) "Network Capital in a Multi-Level World" ( www.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman/publications/networkcapital/hlmnan10.pdf) Also he participated in the Pew Internet Project's research "The Strength of Internet Ties" (www.pewinternet.org/pdfs/PIP_Internet_ties.pdf) which deals with problems of weak and strong ties of people who use and don't use Internet. Hope it hepls. Best wishes, Alexander. 2009/2/10 Mia Lövheim <mia.lovheim@teol.uu.se>
Dear all,
I have been involved in the planning of a Swedish survey looking at motives for voluntary work and social trust (generally), and would like to include some questions on uses of the internet in relation to the development of social trust, social capital, and participation in voluntary work that has been tried out previously in international research during the last 2-3 years.
Any suggestions of questions and/or publication where I can find this kind of research questions would be most helpful!
Thank you in advance for your help,
/Mia
