Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

79
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

164
Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

250
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Public Health
  • Mental Well-being

Background:

  • COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted global health and well-being.
  • A digital, remote interactive tool was developed in April-May 2020.
  • The tool utilized a text messaging platform to deliver resources and foster community connectivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate a health system-based digital tool for delivering health and well-being resources.
  • To assess the tool's ability to foster community connectivity among local participants.
  • To investigate these effects during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive and nonparametric longitudinal statistical analyses were employed.
  • Participant mood ratings were analyzed over time.
  • Thematic analysis of text message responses was conducted to further assess mood.

Main Results:

  • 393 individuals from an urban emergency department engaged with the text messaging platform.
  • Mood ratings did not significantly differ by enrollment week or change overall.
  • Mood significantly improved for participants with initially low mood ratings, while remaining stable for those with high initial ratings.

Conclusions:

  • Engaging individuals in a digital community facilitated by an emergency department is feasible.
  • The text messaging platform effectively assessed and responded to mood-related queries.
  • Vetted health and well-being resources were successfully provided to participants during COVID-19.
