Ho, Ching-Hua. "Online communities, identity, and leisure: Why online communities mean so much to married women with young children." Journal of Leisure Research 54.5 (2023): 560-580.

This study investigates how 20 married Taiwanese women with young children engage in online and offline leisure activities, utilizing qualitative research methods. It reveals that online communities serve as "third places" for these women, offering a platform to construct collective identities, share leisure interests, and fulfill social, emotional, and cognitive needs. The sense of freedom and autonomy gained from participating in these online spaces provides valuable coping resources, highlighting the importance of understanding the specific motivations and social meanings behind leisure practices in online communities.
