Answered by Examlex AI CopilotIn Durkin's study of online masochism, the research was conducted through a combination of online surveys, interviews, and observations of online communities where individuals engaged in masochistic behavior. This allowed the researcher to gather data on the motivations, experiences, and behaviors of individuals participating in online masochistic activities.
Research using the internet is important to the study of deviance because it provides access to a wide range of individuals and communities engaging in deviant behaviors. The internet allows researchers to observe and interact with individuals who may not be easily accessible through traditional research methods, and it provides a platform for studying the dynamics of deviant behavior in online communities.
Online communities have influenced deviant behavior by providing a platform for individuals to connect with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and validate their own deviant behaviors. These communities can also serve as a space for individuals to explore and experiment with deviant behaviors without the same level of social or legal consequences they might face in offline settings.

On one hand, online postings provide a wealth of real-time, unfiltered data that can offer valuable insights into deviant behaviors and attitudes. On the other hand, online postings are fluid and often changing, making it difficult to capture a complete and accurate picture of a particular phenomenon.
