How online social interactions predict the sense of virtual community via social capital: Testing a dual-process model with an interest–based SNS

作者：

Highlights：

• This is an early study of whether one-to-one interactions on SNSs can foster SOVC.

• Both public and private interactions on SNSs drive SOVC.

• Public interactions impact SOVC via both bridging and bonding social capital.

• Bridging has a stronger mediation effect compared to bonding.

• Bonding fully mediates the association between private interactions and SOVC.
