Social Media Big Data-Based Research on the Influencing Factors of Insomnia and Spatiotemporal Evolution

Abstract

Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder that causes serious harm to individuals and society. It is closely linked to not only personal factors but also social, economic and other factors. This study explores the influencing factors and spatial differentiation of insomnia from the perspective of social media. This paper chose China's largest social media platform, Sina Weibo, as its data source. Then, based on the collected relevant data of 288 Chinese cities from 2013 to 2017, it explored the impact of economic, social, and environmental factors and an educated population on insomnia. Additionally, the importance and interaction of each influencing factor were analyzed. According to the results, the gross domestic product (GDP), proportion of households connected to the Internet and number of students in regular institutions of higher education are the major factors that influence insomnia, and their influences show obvious spatial nonstationarity. Rapid GDP growth has increased the probability of insomnia, and the positive correlation between the proportion of households connected to the internet and insomnia has strengthened annually. Although the impact of insomnia on college students decreased in some regions, the overall impact was still increasing annually, and spatial nonstationarity was obvious. Properly controlling GDP growth and unnecessary time spent online and guiding people to develop healthy Internet surfing habits and lifestyles will help improve their sleep quality. Our research results will help relevant professionals better understand the distribution of regional insomnia and provide a reference for related departments to formulate regional insomnia prevention and treatment policies.INDEX TERMS Social media, insomnia, geographically weighted regression model, influencing factors.

The relationship between neuroticism and mobile phone use among college students in love: The masking effect of self-emotional assessment

“…We believe that schools and parents should not excessively curb students’ use of mobile phones. Although previous studies have shown that the frequent use of mobile phones can cause a range of negative conditions ( Kumar and Anupama, 2019 ; Jacob, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2020b ), mobile phone use may also act as a kind of emotional sedative for some people (especially for neurotic individuals). It can be a tranquilizer that allows people to temporarily forget their worries.…”

“…Through mobile phone use, individuals can establish and maintain a good social circle obtain social support ( Zhang et al, 2021 ) and sense of control in communication ( Volungis et al, 2020 ). On the other hand, prolonged mobile phone use may also bring about a lot of negative effects on college students physically and mentally such as anxiety and loneliness ( Kumar and Anupama, 2019 ; Jacob, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2020b ), sleep disorders ( Ma et al, 2022 ), poor school performance ( Gao et al, 2020 ) and so on. As a result, research on smartphone use is receiving increasing attention.…”

A method to detect influencers in social networks based on the combination of amplification factors and content creation

“…A social network is a suitable place for viral information. Although there are still fake news and negative impacts on social networks [ 22 – 24 ], social media is ideal for spreading positive information. It is also a popular tool to communicate and establish relationships between products/brands with their targeted customers [ 25 ].…”

“…The identification of prominent users in social networks s is a critical step in speeding up the spread of information, such as marketing applications, or preventing the spread of harmful content [ 27 ]. For users on a social network, the measuring of their impact on that network has been studied by many methods [ 22 , 28 ], such as: using association rules [ 29 ], nomological network [ 30 ], diffusion model [ 31 ]. Those methods can be classified as Local Measures [ 27 , 32 ], Short Path–Based Measures [ 33 ], Iterative Calculation–Based Measures [ 34 , 35 ], Coreness-Based Measures [ 36 ], and Machine-Learning Algorithms [ 37 , 38 ].…”

Pedagogías emergentes en ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje

“…Finalmente, en un contexto mediado por el uso habitual y generalizado de las redes sociales para buscar amigos, compartir fotos, comprar bienes, escribir blogs, enviar mensajes, hacer videoconferencias, leer noticias, y pedir domicilios, entre muchas otras opciones, la social media representa en un escenario para el aprendizaje en red. Las redes sociales dan vida al aprendizaje al convocar diferentes personas y motivaciones en tiempos, espacios y posibilidades casi infinitas; este tipo de interacciones pueden apoyar la creatividad, la cooperación, la comunicación y el intercambio de información y recursos (Aldahdouh, Volumen Liu et al, 2020;Matassi & Boczkowski, 2020).…”
