Abstract:
|
Whether the internet increases or reduces social support is a continuing controversy. Rural areas provide a unique context for studying this issue since their residents and their communities have a heightened need for social support. The present research examined the effects of internet usage on perceived social support in sample of 891 internet users drawn from four rural communities. Path analysis revealed a link between the use of the internet to obtain social outcomes and perceived social support. However, the ability to obtain online social support also decreased community attachment. |
