 Dear all,
 I am currently doing research on multiplex relations in online
 communities and would love to get input from the AoIR group on
 relevant research on this topic. Specifically, I am interested in
the
 following:
 1)  the categorization of interpersonal relations (e.g,
 socioemotional, instrumental, co-workers, friends and family, etc),
 particularly in online settings.
 2)  how social circles (e.g., co-workers and friends) overlap and
 coalesce, and how they affect collaborative and psycho-social
 outcomes.
 3)  how new relations emerge and develop in online communities and
 provide multiple functions.
 Any tip is much appreciated!
 Cuihua
