Abstract

Background: This study investigates the discourse on anxiety management strategies within the TikTok platform, analyzing a substantial dataset of 45,639 comments collected over a year.

Aims: The primary aim is to explore the various strategies users employ to manage anxiety, focusing on how these strategies are discussed and shared on TikTok.

Methods: A mixed-method approach was utilized, combining Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for topic modeling with qualitative analysis. This methodology allowed for the identification of nine distinct topics, which were further grouped into three main categories: Self-Empowerment and Coping Strategies, Community Support and Social Connectivity, and Recognizing and Navigating Triggers.

Results: The analysis revealed a diverse range of strategies users employ to manage anxiety, spanning personal coping mechanisms, social support networks, and the recognition and mitigation of triggers. These findings underscore TikTok's role as a dynamic space for sharing, exploring, and validating experiences related to anxiety management.

Conclusions: TikTok offers unique opportunities for identity construction and community support amidst the challenges of anxiety. However, the study acknowledges limitations, such as potential biases in keyword-based data collection and the complexity of capturing multimodal discourse on the platform. The conclusion emphasizes the need for further refinement of digital mental health platforms, calling for sophisticated algorithmic solutions to enhance user support and content relevance.

TikTok 上的焦虑管理策略:对集体应对机制的话语分析。
研究背景本研究调查了 TikTok 平台上关于焦虑管理策略的讨论,分析了一年来收集到的 45,639 条评论的大量数据集。目的:本研究的主要目的是探索用户管理焦虑的各种策略,重点关注这些策略在 TikTok 上是如何被讨论和分享的:研究采用了混合方法,将用于主题建模的 Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) 与定性分析相结合。这种方法确定了九个不同的主题,并将其进一步分为三大类:结果:分析结果显示,用户采用了多种策略来控制焦虑,包括个人应对机制、社会支持网络以及识别和缓解触发因素。这些发现强调了 TikTok 作为一个动态空间在分享、探索和验证与焦虑管理相关的经验方面所发挥的作用:结论:TikTok 为焦虑挑战中的身份构建和社区支持提供了独特的机会。然而,本研究也承认其局限性,例如基于关键词的数据收集可能存在偏差,以及捕捉平台上多模态话语的复杂性。结论强调了进一步完善数字心理健康平台的必要性,呼吁采用先进的算法解决方案来增强用户支持和内容相关性。
