Abstract
The phenomenon of social support – aid and assistance exchanged through social relationships and interpersonal transactions – has been studied for decades with a focus on discovering the mechanism that lies between support exchange and personal wellbeing. In the age of the Internet, researchers also have shifted their focus to online support exchange. However, little attention has been paid to conceptualizing the determinants of support provision in virtual support communities. Drawing from social capital theory, this study attempts to bridge this gap by presenting a model that applies the structural, relational, and cognitive dimensions of social capital to theorize the determinants of the provision of informational and emotional support in virtual support communities. Through the use of social network analysis and machine learning techniques, messages from a virtual support community for women with breast cancer are analyzed. The analysis results are used for empirically testing the framework modeling support provision.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
