Hi all. Does anybody know any studies about mental health of participants in collective, horizontal collaboration environments?
Thank you, Juliana
Hi Juliana,
Nothing comes to mind. Although there's been a good deal of high-profile research on editor motivation, which should be discoverable via Google Scholar.
And I see there's currently a research project written up on Meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:The_Construction_and_Application_of_Personality_Profile_Based_on_User_Behavior_in_Wikipedia that proposes to evaluate editors based on the Big 5 Personality questionnaire. However, probably no one should participate in that study; they don't say anything about what they're going to do with the survey data you give them :/
You might look through previous projects and project proposals written up on the Research Index https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Projects, and also in the Research newsletter https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter.

Would research on harrassment be relevant?
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Harassment_surveys https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Detox#Impact_of_Harassment_on_User_...
Further: Is the ansatz that harrassing behaviour is a sign of poor mental health on the part of the harrasser commonly accepted? A quick google turns up more hits about research showing mental health effects of harrassment on the harrassed person(s).
If within 'mental health' you include the concept of thriving, then it might be useful to look at resources like "Net Smart: How to Thrive Online" by Howard Rheingold.
It's not research in a peer reviewed sense but maybe this should be added to the recommended reading list: http://www.mondo2000.com/2018/03/30/a-virtual-life-an-actual-death/
