In this study, we examined online dissent as expressed by members and former members of a U.S. based megachurch. Our interpretive analysis of the data illuminated three audiences of dissent (i.e., self, others, the pastor) and uncovered three clear aims (i.e., individual sensemaking, community defense, providing corrective direction) of dissent processes in this non-secular organization as enacted online. Taken together, these audiences and aims complicate several taken-for-granted assumptions embedded in current models of dissent processes and extend scholarly insight into dissent in religious organizations.

异见合唱：探索网络异见的目标和受众

在这项研究中，我们调查了美国大型教会的成员和前成员所表达的在线异议。我们对数据的解释性分析阐明了三个持不同意见的受众（即自我、他人、牧师），并揭示了这个非世俗组织中的异议过程的三个明确目标（即个人意义建构、社区防御、提供纠正方向）。在线的。总而言之，这些受众和目标使嵌入在当前异议过程模型中的几个理所当然的假设复杂化，并将学术洞察力扩展到宗教组织中的异议。
