Literature on social and information sciences lacks a mathematical definition for online social support. Therefore, the authors have leveraged empirical definitions of social support from computational science and social sciences literature overlapping with the application domain (i.e., healthcare and online interaction to measure social support). Cobb (1976) defined social support as “information leading the subject to believe that he is cared for and loved, esteemed, and is a member of a network of mutual obligations.” Social support in online interaction can be approximately deduced from relevant statistics when influential psychological factors group with metrics from social network analysis (Saha & Agarwal, 2015).
