Abstract

This study aims to explore how bonding and bridging social capital in affecting online political participation through offline political participation. This study tests the mediating role of offline political participation in the relationship between two types of social capital and online participation, and examines the mobilization and reinforcement hypotheses by analyzing a nationally-representative adult sample in Taiwan. Results suggest that offline political participation mediates the relationship between two types of social capital and online participation. The findings provide more support for a resource reinforcement hypothesis rather than a mobilization hypothesis.
