ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to construct of an interactive model between the web site club-members in cyber space. A club in cyber space has a large anonymous membership in general, so it is in need of specific methodical approach to find out the interactive relations and influences. Based on the grounded theory of Strauss & Corbin(1998), a self help-club in cyber space of parents for children with disabilities(ADHD)in Korea and its interactive styles as coping strategy were analyzed to construct an theoretical model of interaction between their parents. The results showed their interaction started from a causal condition "need help" and "shock" and through the interactions with various forms(encouraging, express their feelings, information etc.), the parents tried to overcome their shock and could accept the handicaps of their children. Furthermore there are another factors, which influence complexly how to build their own coping strategy: 1) contextual conditions (period of membership, the time of writing out and styles of messages) and 2) medial conditions(the quality of information and the types of delivering messages). In the various communicative styles of interaction provides this self-help club for parents 1) security base 2) "agora" for their social-political participation.
