TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Exploration of online culture through network analysis of Wikipedia JO - Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking A1 - Park, Sung Joo A1 - Kim, Jong Woo A1 - Lee, Hong Joo A1 - Park, Hyunjung A1 - Han, Deugcheon A1 - Gloor, Peter SP - 674 EP - 681 VL - 18 IS - 11 N2 - Understanding online culture is becoming crucial in the global and connected world. Contrary to conventional attitudinal surveys used in cultural research, this study uses the approach of directly observing culture-specific behavior that emerges from online collaboration on the Internet. The editing data of Wikipedia were analyzed in 12 languages. Distinctive cultural dimensions were identified, including collectivism, extraversion, boldness, and egalitarianism. Using network analysis, the language-framed cultural factors were extracted as an emergent phenomenon in the virtual world.
