To establish an integrative theoretical model explaining how digital groups respond to communicative deviance through simultaneous group-level and individual-level mechanisms.
Synthesized social identity theory with expectancy violations theory to address gaps in single-level deviance frameworks.
Conceptualized the interaction between group-level identification in anonymous online settings and individual-level assessments of a deviant's reward value.
Proposes that responses to online communicative deviance depend jointly on group norms and individual evaluations rather than either factor alone.
Identifies that group identification governs reactions to overt norm violations, whereas perceived reward value directs responses when deviance remains ambiguous.
