作者:

Highlights:

• Using online learning communities for learning is a matter of integrativity.

• We predicted integrativity, i.e., how likely online communites integrate newcomers.

• The prediction was based on automated dialog analysis in blogger communities.

• We analyzed N = 20 blogger communities involving 2342 users.

• We reached 90% prediction accuracy based on text complexity and other indicators.
