  • Our research relies on the basic intuition that any role is a combination of particular sets of behavioral, meaningful, and structural attributes. For instance, the social role of father includes a meaningful schema of what a father is and that schema is associated with appropriate interactions, behavioral expectations, and the occupation of particular social structural relations. If we are studying interaction on a playground, we could use our knowledge of any of these dimensions to learn which of the people were playing the role of father. For instance, if we see an adult male comforting an injured child with a hug, we could take that behavioral and relational data as evidence that that adult is a father to that child. The more extensive our data about interactions and structural relations, the better we would be able to identify which roles were being played by whom
  • to simultaneously bring network structure, behavioral patterns, and the meaning of interactions (via content analysis) to bear on the task of accurately identifying roles.
  • Social Roles Online. There are many important social roles in online discussion groups: local experts, answer people, conversationalists, fans, discussion artists, flame warriors, and trolls (Burkhalter and Smith 2003; Golder 2003; Turner et al 2005; Herring 2004; Haythornthwaite and Hager 2005). These social roles have primarily been identified through ethnographic study of the content of interaction (Golder 2003; Donath 1996; Marcoccia 2004) while some effort has been made to use behavioral and structural cues to recognize these roles (Viegas and Smith 2004; Turner et al. 2005).

  Social roles in online discussion forums can be described by patterned characteristics of communication between network members which we conceive of as ‘structural signatures.' This paper uses visualization methods to reveal these structural signatures and regression analysis to confirm the relationship between these signatures and their associated roles in Usenet newsgroups. Our analysis focuses on distinguishing the signatures of one role from others, the role of “answer people."
