Specifically, these requests and the responses they receive can serve as a window into how, why, and with what results individuals turn to their Friends network for help. In this study, we synthesize the existing research on resource mobilization requests via Facebook and present new analyses of survey data collected from a random sample of Facebook users who have made any post in the past 28\u2009days ( n\u2009=\u2009573) and a sample of those who have posted a mobilization request in the past 28\u2009days ( n\u2009=\u20091074). To identify mobilization requests, an automated classifier trained on a hand-labeled sample of public status updates was used. Using participants\u2019 self-reported survey data and server-level behavioral data, we examine how mobilization request behaviors relate to perceptions of bridging and bonding social capital, participants\u2019 perceptions of Facebook\u2019s utility regarding these requests, and related variables such as engagement in Facebook Relational Maintenance Behaviors. We find that those who post mobilization requests on Facebook report higher social capital, are more likely to try to respond to Friends\u2019 expressed needs, and tend to see the site as a better source of information, coordination, and networked communication. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444814543998","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,29]],"date-time":"2014-07-29T00:36:51Z","timestamp":1406594211000},"page":"1104-1121","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":112,"title":["Social capital and resource requests on Facebook"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Nicole B","family":"Ellison","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan, USA"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Gray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facebook, Inc., USA"}]},{"given":"Cliff","family":"Lampe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan, USA"}]},{"given":"Andrew T","family":"Fiore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facebook, Inc., USA"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1461444814543998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/isre.11.4.418.11876"},{"key":"bibr2-1461444814543998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1369118X.2014.884612"},{"key":"bibr3-1461444814543998","first-page":"241","volume-title":"Handbook of Theory and Research for the Sociology of Education","author":"Bourdieu P","year":"1986"},{"key":"bibr4-1461444814543998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socnet.2014.01.002"},{"key":"bibr5-1461444814543998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/1978942.1979023"},{"key":"bibr6-1461444814543998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/1753326.1753613"},{"key":"bibr7-1461444814543998","volume-title":"Network Neighbors: Competitive Advantage Local and Personal","author":"Burt RS","year":"2010"},{"key":"bibr8-1461444814543998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/228943"},{"key":"bibr9-1461444814543998","first-page":"151","volume-title":"The Oxford Handbook of Internet Studies","author":"Ellison N","year":"2013"},{"key":"bibr10-1461444814543998","first-page":"155","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 7th annual international conference on weblogs and social media","author":"Ellison N","year":"2013"},{"key":"bibr11-1461444814543998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1083-6101.2007.00367.x"},{"key":"bibr12-1461444814543998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444810385389"},{"key":"bibr13-1461444814543998","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jcc4.12078"},{"key":"bibr14-1461444814543998","unstructured":"Facebook (2014) Company info: key facts.
