[Air-L] Seeking data on distribution messages in virtual worlds

[L Holly]

Dear  AIR members,

Could you point me to any research showing the distribution of the trust
level of messages?  In other words, not all messages exchanged in a virtual
community are supportive, many will be neutral and some will be
non-supportive or hostile.  What does that distribution look like? What
percentage of messages are non-supportive/hostile, neutral, supportive?

I am developing an agent-based model of social system and need this
information to govern the messages generated.  I would like the messages
exchanged between agents to mimic real messages distributions.

Thnk you for your time and consideration
