Two studies explored the relationship between blogging and psychological empowerment among women.

Various user motivations were also shown to predict psychological empowerment. Next, a 2 (type of blog) X 2 (comments) X 2 (site visits) factorial experiment (N = 214) found that 2 site metricsthe number of site visits and number of commentsaffect psychological empowerment through distinct mechanismsthe former through the sense of agency and the latter through the sense of community. These metrics are differentially motivating for bloggers depending on the type of blog maintained: filter or personal.
