An online survey conducted among Chinese Renren Network users and the U.S. Facebook users showed that the usage of SNSs was positively related to users' social capital (both bridging and partially bonding) and privacy awareness. Significant differences were found in the intensity of SNS usage and bridging social capital between the users of Facebook and Renren Network. 2014 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1408105548 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1408105548 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
