Abstract:

This paper investigates whether an association exists between individuals' on-line "sense of community" and their political and social attitudes toward off-line community. Using the Social Capital Benchmark Survey (2000), we explore what "sense of community" is found through digital interaction. Our research, theoretically guided by the work of Ferdinard Tönnies, questions whether a "sense of Gemeinschaft," lost off-line to an increasingly differentiated economy, is being re-discovered on-line; or if our cyber interactions are merely the transcription of our Gesellschaft lives online.
