Resum Moderation in virtual communities should not be a private privilege. This paper proposes a method for participants in a social network to decide their own rules for accepting (or not) contents. With the norm argument map, participants are able to argue about norms and voice their opinions about other people?s arguments. This structure, equipped with a method to fuse all the data introduce...

This article describes and validates an agent-based model that integrates social psychological theories on collective effort, group identity, and interpersonal bonds to understand trade-offs in designing online communities. The model is then used to examine when different types of moderation in online communities will be valuable: no moderation in which all members are exposed to all messages, ...

In behavioral sciences, researchers often examine whether any linear moderations exist in their studies. That is, they evaluate the extent (i.e., magnitude, direction) to which a linear effect of a predictor X (e.g., cognitive ability) on a criterion Y (e.g., performance) may differ across the levels of a moderator M (e.g., gender). In that case, researchers often run a liner regression analysi...

Assessing the performance of a student involves some form of judgement, and where more than one assessor is involved this usually requires some form of moderation to ensure consistent and fair results. Often this involves meetings or communication between assessors, which is referred to as social moderation. This paper reports on a study that investigated the use of online technologies to suppo...

We investigated, in a sample of 112 unemployed parents of adolescents aged 10-19 years, the links between parental distress and change in youth emotional problems related to parental unemployment, and the moderation roles of parent-youth relationship and financial deprivation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlations. Further, simple moderation, additive moderation, and ...

Mediated moderation occurs when the interaction between two variables affects a mediator, which then affects a dependent variable. In this article, we describe the mediated moderation model and evaluate it with a statistical simulation using an adaptation of product-of-coefficients methods to assess mediation. We also demonstrate the use of this method with a substantive example from the adoles...
