ANGELI, Luciano A.; DELFINO, Gisela I.  and  ZUBIETA, Elena M.. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN THE DIGITAL ERA: : MODALITIES AND ASSOCIATED SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS. Anu. investig. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.1, pp.125-132. ISSN 1851-1686.

This study analyzes various forms of citizen participation and its relation to use of internet. We explore frequency and hours of Internet use and make an exploratory factor analysis that yields five categories of citizen participation. We analyze relationships between these categories, use of internet and certain sociodemographic factors such as gender and age. A self-administered questionnaire was used with 579 people from the city of Buenos Aires and surroundings that allowed descriptive and correlational statistical analyzes. Participation in internet positively correlated with the frequency and hours of network use, and young people and women report more participation.

Keywords : Citizen participation; Internet; Activism.
