社会学研究 2003 年第 5 期 ① BBS 互动的结构与过程 白淑英 　何明升 　　Abstract :This paper studies the interactive characteristics of relationship s formed in discussion on BBS with the matrix method of studying social relationship s. Analysis in this paper shows that the temporalspatial characteristics of BBS interaction mean that its constitutive elements are clearly different from interaction in real situations and that BBS interaction requires four constitutive elements , namely , electronic space , topic , roles , and postings. BBSbased interaction greatly increases autonomy and subj ectivity , but at the same time it can also lead to passivity . Two basic types of BBS interaction , focused and unfocused ,can be distinguished , which is roughly the same as Goffman ’s classification of interaction types. Focused interaction often corresponds to some “hot topic ”for a certain period of time , while unfocused interaction is a form of interaction with a specifically BBS flavor . Due to the nature of BBS postings , a participant on the BBS can enter multiple role relationship s , thus having varied interactive patterns. This study finds that there are five kind of major interactive patterns on the BBS. 一 、问题的提出 20 世纪初 ,一些社会学家先后致力于人际互动问题的研究 ,他们认为 ,社会结构最终是由个人行为 ( ) ( ) ( ) 及其互动所构成和保持的。互动理论自米德 G. H. Mead 开始 ,经布鲁默 H.
