| Research Abstract |
This research aims to explore the process of yielding social intelligence in online community. For this purpose, archival data of NIFTY-Serve, one of the most popular online communities in 1990s, were excavated, resurrected, and analyzed. We focused on the overall communication process of “Shinri-Gaku (Psychology)” forum through beginning to end. We successfully resurrected all messages of 6 bulletin boards from the forum in near-perfect condition. To evaluate how social intelligence could be yielded in the forum, both quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted. The results show that the qualitative difference among social intelligence yielded in the online community reflected that of users. Social network analysis of bulletin board communication using message and reply as a unit of linkage revealed that different network indices correspond to qualitatively different network structure. And we tried to examine a trend of screen-name usage, sorts of names and how they change their name.
