We are conducting a study based on an online football community. We have found a phenomenon that in the early stages after community establishment, the relationship between a member and other members has no significant impact on the participation of the focused member in activities; After a period of community development, the relationship between a member and other members has a significant impact on the participation of the focused member in activities.

How should we construct this hypothesis? Is it because of a change in trust in this online community? For example, in the early stage, users did not trust the community, which lead to that the relationships between members had no impact on their participation; Subsequently, the community gained wider dissemination, and users trusted the community more. The relationships between members had an impact on their participation?
