Social Capital in the Internet Era: Exploring the Differences between Netizens and Non-netizens

Abstract: The Internet era features the rise of individualization and the reshaping of social connectedness. Exploring the differences in social capital of netizens and non-netizens serves as an indispensable theoretical perspective and research tool to probe into the issue empirically. This study analyzes the pooled data of Chinese General Social Surveys (CGSS) 2003 and 2017 and draws the following conclusions. First, netizens enjoy higher social capital than non-netizens and such an advantage amplifies itself as the Internet era advances. Second, the comparative advantage of social capital among netizens comes from the power of socioeconomic advantage behind the digital divide and the empowerment from Internet technology. Third, online social interaction reshapes social connectedness since interpersonal relationships are formed in both online and offline space and can be transformed bidirectionally between the virtual and the real.
