Predictors of mobilizing online coping versus offline coping resources after negative life events

作者：

Highlights：

• We study mobilization of online and offline coping resources using a large dataset.

• We find support for social compensation with regard to coping resources.

• The lonely, isolated, and those with low self-esteem are less disadvantaged online.

• Women mobilize more support offline but less online after negative life events.

• The compensation is strongest for socioemotional coping and weak for disengagement.
