The Adoption of Social Network Sites for Expressive Participation in Internet Social Movements: A Proposed Model


This study was presented in May 2012 for the 18th IBIMA Conference in Istanbul, and it is an initial effort to develop a model that explores how uses of ICTs, particularly SNSs, foster expressive forms of participation that result in civic participation. In doing so, we attempt to investigate the acceptance and use of SNSs by members’ e-movements and SMOs and whether these uses turn results in a host of traditional or offline civic participatory behaviours. A theoretical model is proposed and justified, albeit not empirically validated. Thus, representing an opportunity for future research. The ideas extracted from the discussion should be a help for citizens to create social movements on the Internet. In this regard, numerous practical reflections and suggestions are presented.

Qualitative or Quantitative research methods. What do you choose?


There is a mistaken belief that qualitative researchers are in the business of interpreting stories and quantitative researchers are in the business of producing facts.

All researchers are interpreters of data. Furthermore, researchers must be able to account for the biases in their interpretation of the data.

Therefore, both qualitative and quantitative research methods are useful. Qualitative for detail examination data and Quantitative for big data to identify patterns.
