摘要:
探索抑郁症个体语言标记的研究表明,语言使用可以作为心理健康的指标。本研究利用Reddit数据集,考察讨论主题作为语境对抑郁症中语言标记和情感表达的影响,以探索交互效应。与常见发现相反,我们的情感分析显示,抑郁个体的情感强度范围更广,其消极和积极情感均高于对照组。这一模式是由不含情感词的帖子所驱动的,揭示了基于词典的方法在捕捉完整情感语境方面的局限性。我们观察到若干有趣的结果,证明了语境分析的重要性。例如,第一人称单数代词以及与愤怒和悲伤相关的词语的使用与积极情感的增强相关,而更高比例的现在聚焦词语则与更消极的情感相关。我们的发现强调了在解释抑郁症中使用的语言时讨论语境的重要性,揭示出情感强度和语言标记的含义可能因讨论主题而异。
英文摘要:
Research exploring linguistic markers in individuals with depression has demonstrated that language usage can serve as an indicator of mental health. This study investigates the impact of discussion topic as context on linguistic markers and emotional expression in depression, using a Reddit dataset to explore interaction effects. Contrary to common findings, our sentiment analysis revealed a broader range of emotional intensity in depressed individuals, with both higher negative and positive sentiments than controls. This pattern was driven by posts containing no emotion words, revealing the limitations of the lexicon based approaches in capturing the full emotional context. We observed several interesting results demonstrating the importance of contextual analyses. For instance, the use of 1st person singular pronouns and words related to anger and sadness correlated with increased positive sentiments, whereas a higher rate of present-focused words was associated with more negative sentiments. Our findings highlight the importance of discussion contexts while interpreting the language used in depression, revealing that the emotional intensity and meaning of linguistic markers can vary based on the topic of discussion.
