Principal findings:
We find that administrators maintain a rather neutral, impersonal tone, while regular
editors are more emotional and relationship-oriented, that is, they use language to form
and maintain connections to other editors. A persistent gender difference is that female
contributors communicate in a manner that promotes social affiliation and emotional
connection more than male editors, irrespective of their status in the community. Female
regular editors are the most relationship-oriented, whereas male administrators are the
least relationship-focused. Finally, emotional and linguistic homophily is prevalent:
editors tend to interact with other editors having similar emotional styles (e.g., editors
expressing more anger connect more with one another).
