Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Brandon C. Bouchillon studies interpersonal and computer-mediated communication, focusing on how digital interactions influence social capital, trust, and prejudice reduction. His research has investigated the role of social networking in building social capital, particularly examining how age affects the value of online presence. Bouchillon has also explored the relationship between competence, presence, and trust in online environments, as well as the impact of computer games on trust and role-playing.

Further research by Bouchillon delves into the psychological aspects of online interactions, including how networked friendship quality and self-esteem relate to loneliness, and the influence of social media visuals on media consumption. He has also examined the use of digital platforms for addressing prejudice and the effect of online 'likes' on life satisfaction and loneliness. Bouchillon collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Patrick A. Stewart, Austin D. Eubanks, Freddie J. Jennings, and Jennifer A. Mortensen.
