Abstract

This study investigates statements made by individuals who either disclose having experienced a break in alcohol abstinence or provide a first-level response to such disclosures. An average month of public Reddit data were examined, resulting in 193 posts and 1238 responses. Post statements were binarily considered according to eight a priori categories, primarily guided by the communication resilience process scale (CRPS; Wilson et al., 2021). Coded response posts were collapsed into sets corresponding to initial posts, facilitating the saturation comparison of resilience building statements between initial and response posts. Results indicate that responses were more resilience-heavy than initial posts, suggesting users looking to disclose an abstinence break have a good chance of experiencing resilience building responses. Notably, the top three resilience building categories identified in this study were identical for initial and response posts. Discussion, implications, and future research directions regarding communicating resilience and resilience building discourse follow.

网络空间中的弹性建构话语：对戒酒中断披露后用户陈述的比较分析。

这项研究调查了一些人的陈述，这些人要么透露自己经历了戒酒的中断，要么对这种披露提供了一级反应。研究人员检查了Reddit平均一个月的公开数据，共有193条帖子和1238条回复。后陈述根据八个先验类别进行二元考虑，主要以沟通弹性过程量表(CRPS；Wilson et al., 2021)。编码响应岗位被压缩成与初始岗位相对应的集合，便于初始岗位和响应岗位弹性建设陈述的饱和比较。结果表明，回应比最初的帖子更有弹性，这表明希望透露禁欲休息的用户很有可能经历弹性建设的回应。值得注意的是，本研究确定的前三个弹性建设类别对于初始和响应职位是相同的。最后，讨论了沟通弹性和弹性建设的相关问题，并提出了未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍： Alcohol is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is devoted to publishing multi-disciplinary biomedical research on all aspects of the actions or effects of alcohol on the nervous system or on other organ systems. Emphasis is given to studies into the causes and consequences of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, and biomedical aspects of diagnosis, etiology, treatment or prevention of alcohol-related health effects. Intended for both research scientists and practicing clinicians, the journal publishes original research on the neurobiological, neurobehavioral, and pathophysiological processes associated with alcohol drinking, alcohol abuse, alcohol-seeking behavior, tolerance, dependence, withdrawal, protracted abstinence, and relapse. In addition, the journal reports studies on the effects alcohol on brain mechanisms of neuroplasticity over the life span, biological factors associated with adolescent alcohol abuse, pharmacotherapeutic strategies in the treatment of alcoholism, biological and biochemical markers of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, pathological effects of uncontrolled drinking, biomedical and molecular factors in the effects on liver, immune system, and other organ systems, and biomedical aspects of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder including mechanisms of damage, diagnosis and early detection, treatment, and prevention. Articles are published from all levels of biomedical inquiry, including the following: molecular and cellular studies of alcohol''s actions in vitro and in vivo; animal model studies of genetic, pharmacological, behavioral, developmental or pathophysiological aspects of alcohol; human studies of genetic, behavioral, cognitive, neuroimaging, or pathological aspects of alcohol drinking; clinical studies of diagnosis (including dual diagnosis), treatment, prevention, and epidemiology. The journal will publish 9 issues per year; the accepted abbreviation for Alcohol for bibliographic citation is Alcohol.
