Professor Ramaprasad’s research examines interactions on online platforms and their impact from multiple perspectives. Specifically, she studies the impact of platform features and social influence – measured by social media activity, social buzz, and social network characteristics – on user participation, interaction, consumption, and payment in online music and online dating platforms. More recently, her work has turned to examine the nefarious aspects of engagement in online communities, where she examines the interplay between online incivility and engagement.
