Abstract

Background and aims: Problematic Social Networking Site Use (PSNSU) is not a formally recognised addiction, but it is increasingly discussed as such in academic research and online. Taking a quantitative, exploratory approach, this study aims to (1) determine whether PSNSU is presented like clinically defined addictions by the affected community and (2) address how well measurements of PSNSU fit with the thematic content found within the associated discourse.

Methods: Four corpora were created for this study: a corpus concerning PSNSU and three control corpora concerning established addictions, including Alcohol Use Disorder, Tobacco Use Disorder and Gaming Disorder. Keywords were identified, collocates and concordances were explored, and shared themes were compared.

Results: Findings show broad thematic similarities between PSNSU and the three control addictions as well as prominent interdiscursive references, which indicate possible confirmation bias among speakers.

Conclusions: Scales based upon the components model of addiction are suggested as the most appropriate measure of this emerging disorder.

沉迷社交，依然孤独：对有问题的社交网站使用情况进行语料库驱动的比较分析。

背景和目的：有问题的社交网站使用（PSNSU）并不是一种被正式认可的成瘾行为，但在学术研究和网络中却有越来越多的讨论将其视为成瘾行为。本研究采用定量探索方法，旨在（1）确定 PSNSU 是否像临床定义的成瘾一样被受影响的群体所呈现；（2）探讨 PSNSU 的测量结果与相关论述中发现的主题内容的匹配程度：本研究创建了四个语料库：一个有关 PSNSU 的语料库和三个有关既定成瘾症（包括酒精使用障碍、烟草使用障碍和游戏障碍）的对照语料库。研究人员确定了关键词，探讨了同义词和一致词，并对共同主题进行了比较：结果：研究结果表明，PSNSU 和三种对照成瘾症之间存在广泛的主题相似性以及突出的跨语义引用，这表明说话者之间可能存在确认偏差：结论：基于成瘾成分模型的量表被认为是衡量这种新兴疾病的最合适方法。

期刊介绍： The aim of Journal of Behavioral Addictions is to create a forum for the scientific information exchange with regard to behavioral addictions. The journal is a broad focused interdisciplinary one that publishes manuscripts on different approaches of non-substance addictions, research reports focusing on the addictive patterns of various behaviors, especially disorders of the impulsive-compulsive spectrum, and also publishes reviews in these topics. Coverage ranges from genetic and neurobiological research through psychological and clinical psychiatric approaches to epidemiological, sociological and anthropological aspects.
