One way to increase the quality of individuals\u0026rsquo; online experience is through the research, design, and application of interventions. However, prior work has suggested that one-size-fits-all interventions are not suitable.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn my research, I study individual-level factors and identity characteristics, that can inform the design of online system affordances and interventions. First, I studied personality characteristics and derived a set of personas that can be used to design future interventions in the domain of online misinformation. Next, I studied clinical indicators of post-traumatic stress disorder on Reddit (\/r\/ptsd) and provide design implications that can be used to provide improved online experiences for individuals seeking mental health information, as well as novel clinical decision-making tools.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn my proposed work, I will use two identity frameworks to study online communities: (1) Intersectional Complexity which examines power differences with regard to individuals\/groups and (2) Social Identity Perspective which examines individuals in terms of their layered social identities, group memberships, and interactions. First, I will devise a dictionary of terms that characterize intersectional and social identity-related attributes based on the two frameworks. Next, I will map these terms to 6 subreddits that exemplify the complexity of individuals\u0026rsquo; social identities in the context of competing factors (e.g., power structures, group dynamics, values, and beliefs). This will result in an understanding of how implicit and explicit identity disclosures drive individuals\u0026rsquo; online outcomes (e.g., receiving social support, learning new information). Future researchers will be able to use the novel dictionaries to conduct quantitative studies of identity in other online communities and discourse corpora.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The Effects of Identity Characteristics in Online Community Intervention Design"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2022-12-08 20:39:47","changed_gmt":"2022-12-08 20:39:47","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2022-12-16T08:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2022-12-16T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2022-12-16T10:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2022-12-16 13:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2022-12-16 15:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2022-12-16 15:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
