Abstract

Nowadays online communication is an essential part of a daily life. Some people argued that online activity was beneficial for the accumulation of social capital, but there is quite opposite evidence supporting that the social capital may promote online activity. As most of the research examining the relationship between the social capital and online activity was conducted using a cross-sectional design, it was hard to establish causal relationship. This study aimed to examine the causality between online/offline relationship-maintaining behaviors and social capital. For this purpose, autoregressive cross-lagged model was analyzed based on three wave panel data of 1039 participants. Results showed that pre-existing bridging social capital had a positive effect on the offline and online relationship-maintaining behaviors, and offline relationship-maintaining behaviors also partly contributed to the increase of online relationship-maaintaining behaviors. However, both offline and online relationship-maintaining behaviors did not contribute to the accumulation of bridging social capital. Futhermore, the positive effect of pre-existing bonding social capital on online relationship was completely mediated through offline relationship. Implications and limitations of the study were discussed.
