“…Although our participants may have wanted to believe that they have access to alternative points of view through Facebook, they may not have been aware of the ways that relatively homogeneous worldviews are represented in the ethnic/racial, political, or religious compositions of their networks. Indeed, homophily, the human tendency to seek out and be attracted to more similar others, has been shown to influence adolescents’ and adults’ social interactions and network composition online (Craig & Wright, 2012; Koiranen, Koivula, Keipi, & Saarinen, 2019; Mazur & Richards, 2011). Whether it is offline echo chambers or online filter bubbles, people in general may not recognize how identity homophily in their social environments limits their perspectives.…”

Masspersonal self-disclosure on social network sites entails new risks and benefits for bridging social capital, defined as social resources such as a connection to and investment in large and heterogeneous collectives, which are important to develop during the transition to adulthood in democratic societies. To better understand motivations and social capital consequences of masspersonal self-disclosure among emerging adults, this mixed-method study examined how U.S. college students view various topics of masspersonal self-disclosure and whether values embedded in their views contributed to their perceived bridging social capital, after accounting for their Facebook use and the diversity of their networks. A total of 208 (110 women, 95 men, 3 non-binary, Mage = 20.28) students completed online questionnaires while referring to their Facebook profiles. Qualitative analyses showed how valuing self-expression, alongside other-focused values, informed participants’ decision-making about masspersonal self-disclosure. Quantitative results showed that valuing self-expression more frequently across topics of self-disclosure predicted bridging social capital; however, the use of Facebook privacy controls and indicators of ethnic and political diversity in students’ networks did not. We discuss the importance of values in understanding emerging adults’ behaviors on social network sites, their generation of bridging social capital, and civic identity development.

“…Simultaneously, sociologists have suggested that people tend to connect with those who share similar backgrounds, values, and views. Called homophily, this phenomenon is perceived as a powerful force in people's social lives in general (Kossinets & Watts, 2009;Lazarsfeld & Merton, 1954;McPherson et al, 2001), as well as in the formation of online networks (Boutyline & Willer, 2017;Koiranen et al, 2019). As such, it is not unusual for users to exhibit selective behavior toward the content they see and the networks they form.…”

“…In addition to the harmful consequences of antagonistic communication, research shows that in the online context, users tend to form interest-based communities, which can increase the distance between population groups while also jeopardizing societal cohesion. According to past research, people tend to gravitate toward like-minded others in both "real life" (Lazarsfeld & Merton, 1954;McPherson, Smith-Lovin, & Cook, 2001) and digital surroundings (Gaines & Mondak, 2009;Koiranen, Koivula, Keipi, & Saarinen, 2019;Sunstein, 2001). As a consequence of this conscious or unconscious selective behavior, users may isolate themselves in the so-called echo chambers (Sunstein, 2001).…”

In this study, we examine how political party preference and politically active social media use associate with social media behaviors -namely, conformist, provocative, and protective -in the context of the current political sphere in Finland. In our empirical analysis, we use a nationally representative dataset collected from 3,724 Finnish citizens in 2018. Our research confirms the assumption that there are notable differences in the social media behaviors of the supporters of different political parties. Additionally, our research shows that politically active social media use increases the occurrence for all three aforementioned behaviors. The study's results also confirm that major differences in online behavior exist among the new identity parties' supporters, who rely heavily on post-materialist and neoconservative political values.

“…Community of Inquiry has to be controlled by the government (Koiranen, Koivula, Keipi, & Saarinen, 2018). In this case, the government of the Republic of Indonesia can control the community in finding the accurate data or material in accordance with the content of the law, the nation philosophy, and the character of the Indonesian based on local wisdom.…”

The lack of optimal woman participation in the digital era does not only occur at the Indonesia level but also at the global level. This becomes a problem because it is considered a form of gender inequality. The issue of inequality highlights the differences in competence, time, finance and several other ideal concepts. Organizational culture of sharing is an organizational culture based on Indonesian local wisdom which can have a balancing role for the women's community in the digital era. To avoid the dilemma over the next generation as the trouble maker and the weakness of family resilience, we can incorporate the slogan of a COI (Comunity of Inquiry) formulation. It may open the doors for the growth of intellectual and moral value harmony in the digital era. The present study utilized the Policy Research approach which is defined as a type of research that seeks to investigate the fundamental social problems that happen in the community The findings of the research are expected to add new information to decision-makers so that they can act practically in solving the problems.Keywords: Women's Community, Local Wisdom, Community of Inquiry AbstrakKurangnya partisipasi perempuan yang optimal di era digital tidak hanya terjadi di Indonesia tetapi juga di tingkat global.

Untuk menghindari dilema pada generasi berikutnya sebagai pembuat masalah dan kelemahan ketahanan keluarga, kami memasukkan formulasi COI (Comunity of Enquiry).
