Aleks Krotoski is currently completing a PhD in Social Psychology at the University of Surrey, titled Social Influence in Second Life: social network and social psychological processes in the diffusion of belief and behaviour on the Web. In this research, she examined the relationship between communication patterns and group processes in the diffusion of information through an online community.
