“…The forum user’s own language features can also be affected by their network positions or the composition of their social networks. For example, the heterogeneity of the social networks of Facebook users is negatively associated with language style variability, as reflected in their status updates [ 34 ]. The lowest common denominator approach to online self-presentation posits that individuals will choose to share information that is considered appropriate for all audience segments [ 51 ].…”

“…The lowest common denominator approach to online self-presentation posits that individuals will choose to share information that is considered appropriate for all audience segments [ 51 ]. The proposed pattern has been observed in the status updates of Facebook users: users tend to vary little in their language style when the audience segments are disconnected with each other [ 34 ]. Online support forum users who possess more bridging social capital (higher network betweenness) share ties with heterogeneous groups of others.…”

“…Furthermore, more than 94.04% (32,493/34,553) of users had <10 sent-out and received replies combined over 10 years. Therefore, following a procedure similar to that of previous studies to capture users’ active participation, only users who contributed ≥10 sent-out and received replies in total were included in the final data set [ 34 , 35 ]. The final data set included 2061 users and their 62,274 replies".…”

Background The use of peer-to-peer online support groups and communities has grown into a social phenomenon. Many people use online support groups and communities to seek and provide social support. It is essential to examine how users’ participation behaviors may contribute to different outcomes. Objective This study aimed to (1) use the structural positions of online depression forum users in their reply network to predict received support and (2) examine their language use reflecting their health conditions. Methods A total of 2061 users and their 62,274 replies posted on a depression forum from July 2004 to July 2014 were extracted using a web crawler written in Python. The content of the forum users’ posts and replies and their reply patterns were examined. A social network analysis method was used to build the reply networks of users. The computerized text analysis method was used to measure features of the forum users’ language styles. Results Forum users’ bridging social capital (operationalized as network betweenness) was positively associated with the level of communication accommodation in their received replies (P=.04). Forum users’ bonding social capital (operationalized as network constraint) was negatively associated with the level of communication accommodation in their received replies (P<.001). The forum users’ change in their use of self-referent words and words expressing negative emotions were examined as linguistic proxies for their health conditions and mental states. The results revealed a general negative association between the number of received replies and the degree of decrease in the use of words expressing negative emotion (P=.007). Conclusions The structural positions of online depression forum users in the reply network are associated with different participation outcomes in the users. Thus, receiving replies can be beneficial to online depression forum users.

The method of obtaining the integral indicator of the deviant behavior of minors, which allows to numerically evaluate and characterize its indicator, in order to perform further detailed preventive work, depending on the nature and extent of deviation is examined in the article. The research is conducted for the purpose of forming the universal approach to obtaining the numerical characteristic describing the hardly formalizable phenomenon (deviant behavior) using characteristic vector of weight coefficients of criteria for the personality evaluation. Methodology. The study is based on analysis and generalization of scientific and theoretical sources, as well as the conducted quantitative experiment. For forming of indistinct and multiple indicator of deviant behavior of minors the modified method of the analysis of hierarchies of T. Saati is used. Results. To form the target level of the juvenile deviant behavior evaluation the methods, based on cluster-hierarchical methods for obtaining generalized indicator, are preferable. The indistinct and multiple indicator is more sensitive to distinction of characteristics of the compared objects, than determined and also considers extent of influence of criterion and group on indicator of the general level of deviation that positively affects the accuracy of calculation of required indicator. Conclusions. Use of the generalized indicator of deviance of minors will allow to estimate well and visually degree and the nature of deviation in behavior that will allow to reveal timely deviations in behavior at early stages for the purpose of carrying out effective scheduled maintenance and also to strengthen control of the teenagers who are registered in divisions for minors that, undoubtedly, will raise possibilities of law-enforcement bodies on prevention of crimes among young people.
