    Attributes of Participation in Online Communities among Czech Internet Users

  • Original language description

    In this research paper, we examine the presence and characteristics of online communities in the Czech Republic, with a particular focus on selected socio-demographic (age, gender) and psychological characteristics as well as individual motivations of their participants. According to our findings, about one fifth of Czech Internet users regularly attend at least one online community. There are no significant gender differences in the membership; however, participants differ according to age, with the youngest age groups being the most active in belonging to an online group.

    Atributy participace v online komunitách mezi českými uživateli internetu

  • Czech description

    Tento článek zkoumá problematiku existence a charakteristik online komunit v České republice, s důrazem na vybrané sociodemografické (věk, gender) a psychologické charakteristiky a na individuální motivace členů těchto komunit. Z výsledků studie je zřejmé, že pětina uživatelů internetu v ČR pravidelně navštěvuje alespoň jednu online komunitu, přičemž participace je ovlivněna věkem uživatelů. Předmětem výzkumu byla kromě jiného rovněž otázka korelace mezi intenzitou zapojení v online komunitách a kvalitou "reálného" sociálního života participantů. Analýza byla provedena na datech ze Světového projektu o Internetu (2006, reprezentativní soubor 1710 respondentů starších 12 let).
