Keyboard Warriors in Cyberfights: Conflict in Online Communities of Consumption and Its Effects on Community Resources

We find via qualitative investigation that two types of conflicts operate, with opposing effects. This research builds knowledge of OCC conflict and value formation, helping to better manage heterogeneity in OCC.
