Effects of source and participant anonymity and difference in initial opinions in an EMS context

Article Abstract:

Source and participant anonymity has been found to create a positive impact on the level of participation involved in an electronic meeting system (EMS). However, such an effect is dependent on the the level and type of anonymity and the degree of similarity that exist among initial options encountered by group members. Source anonymity generates a positive impact on the participation level of group members, while participant anonymity does otherwise. Postdiscussion agreement has also been found to be positively influenced by source anonymity.

"I want you": Uncle Sam as Mr. Right?

Article Abstract:

The second stage of the women's movement is seeking to cast the government in a protective role, but this development leads to too much government interference. The first stage of the women's movement removed barriers to women's equal treatment, but then women found that equal rights also brought new obligations. Women are finding work a necessity rather than a source of liberation. In the second stage, women are seeking some protection from the state, making the government into a protector so that they can remain independent of men.
