Additional research is advised to look further into the role of anonymity in creating honest and meaningful exchanges in this kind of 'electronic' support group. It is one of the characteristics that distinguished this type of support group from traditional support groups and makes this not just a substitute for face-to-face support groups but a unique form of support. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: questionnaire/scale research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
