‘ZOUFAN’ AS A ‘TREE HOLE’ FOR ONLINE SHARING OF DEPRESSION: PARTICIPATION PATTERNS, DOMINANT TOPICS AND LINGUISTIC FEATURES

The concept of ‘tree hole’ in social media has provided a disinhibited space for depressed individuals to communicate their depressive feelings, emotions and experiences freely. Its proliferation underscores an increasing need for such online spaces. However, their operational mechanisms, content dynamics, and implications for mental health remain under-explored, especially in the Mainland Chinese context. This study describes and interprets what is going on under ‘Zoufan’, the largest ‘tree hole’ on Weibo in China, by analyzing the patterns of online community engagement concerning discussions on depression. In an overarching project, a total of 67,614 comments under the last farewell post of ‘Zoufan’ were collected and compiled for an overview of the user’s participation patterns. This paper draws upon a set of data manually coded on the selected topics and a fine-grained analysis of linguistic features. The findings indicate a limited interest among selected users in interacting with others, with most of the content focusing on their adverse emotional states and the difficulties they face within interpersonal relationships. Moreover, the expressions contain a strong sense of negation and inhibition, often conveyed through fragmented narratives. The implications of this study help stakeholders, especially family members, educators, and mental health workers, to better understand the mental health outcomes of participation in online depression sharing. This, in turn, facilitates a more nuanced approach to addressing depression both online and in real-life interventions.

Schadenfreude in Working Women of Lahore: A Phenomenological Study

Human beings have been gifted with a diverse and wonderful set of emotions. They have the ability to not only experience their own feelings, but also empathize with the emotions of others, such as being happy for someone who has conceived. Unfortunately, humans are not always moral or kind. Some people truly take pleasure in others' misery, as opposed to feeling compassion for them. Schadenfreude is defined as a feeling of satisfaction, pleasure or happiness brought on by witnessing another person's sorrow or misfortune. The present study aimed to explore the lived experiences and coping strategies of schadenfreude in working women. The sample consisted of six female faculty members which were recruited through purposive sampling. Phenomenological research design was used in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six faculty members. The data was analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Two sets of themes emerged from data analysis.

Dialectic Perspective on Interpersonal Conflict of Pre-Divorce and Its Reconciliation

This research examines the Dialectic Perspective of Interpersonal Conflict of Pre-Divorce and Its Reconciliation. The development of the divorce rate in Indonesia has reached its peak in 2022 compared to the last six years. These phenomena interest the researcher in discovering how the married couple in dispute can resolve their marriage and repair their relationship. This research is based on the theory of relational dialectics as a ground theory, supported by narrative sense-making as the middle theory, and complemented by dialogic listening theory as the applied theory for supporting conflict resolution. The method used was a qualitative descriptive approach to study the case of four informants with criteria determined by the researcher. The results of this study indicate a framework dimension from the precursor of marriage conflict, namely individual character and family character, forward to the process of the conflict where the dimension of interpersonal conflict and addressing or problem-solving of the conflict is found, to the reconciliation dimension that contributes to the success of reconciliation such as time, agreement, use of future narrative, satisfaction, financial performance, habitual interdependence, and religion and cultural constraints.

The impact of ethical implications intertwined with tuberculosis household contact investigation: a qualitative study.

Household contact investigation (HCI) is an effective and widely used approach to identify persons with tuberculosis (TB) disease and infection, globally. Despite widespread recommendations for the use of HCI, there remains poor understanding of the impact on and value of contact investigation for participants. Further, how HCI as a practice impacts psychosocial factors, including stigma and possible unintended disclosure of illness among persons with TB, their families, and communities, is largely unknown. This exploratory qualitative study nested within a randomized trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04520113, 17 August 2020) was conducted in South Africa to understand the impacts of HCI on index patients living with TB and their household contact persons in two rural districts in the Limpopo province (Vhembe and Capricorn) and Soshanguve, a peri-urban township in Gauteng province. People with TB and household members of people with TB were recruited to participate in in-depth interviews and focus group discussions using semi-structured guides. We explored individual, interpersonal, and community-level perceptions of potential impacts of household contact investigation to elucidate their perceptions of HCI. Thematic analysis identified key themes. Twenty-four individual interviews and six focus group discussions (n=39 participants) were conducted. Participants viewed HCI as an effective approach to finding TB cases, helpful in educating households about TB symptoms and reducing barriers to health-related services. At the interpersonal level, HCI aided people with TB in safely disclosing their TB status to family members and facilitated family and social support for accountability. The introduction of HIV testing during HCI was reported by some participants as making household members slightly uncomfortable, decreasing interest in household members being tested for TB. HCI negatively impacted community-level TB and HIV-related stigma due to healthcare worker visibility at home. Our data suggests varying impacts of HCI on people with TB, their families and interpersonal relationships, and communities, highlighting the importance of considering approaches that address concerns about community stigma and HIV testing to enhance acceptance of HCI.

Anya’s Posttraumatic Growth Over Her Loss Trauma as Reflected in Natassa’s Critical Eleven

It has been commonly assumed that trauma only lead to a negative impact on its survivors. However, on another hand, trauma can bring positive changes. This situation is commonly said as post-traumatic growth (PTG). The PTG process takes a quite long time and each survivor has different capabilities and processes to achieve it. Anya, the main character in the novel of Critical Eleven, experiences the trauma of loss after her first baby dies. Since her baby left, Anya has been in a dark period. This research aims to determine the type of loss trauma experienced by Anya. As a trauma survivor, Anya's post-traumatic growth was also explained in this research. Two theories were utilized in this research. Freud's theory of mourning and melancholia was used to analyze the type of loss trauma that Anya experienced. Meanwhile, the post-traumatic growth theory (PTG) proposed by Tedeschi and Calhoun was used to determine Anya's post-traumatic growth domain. The primary data for this research were taken from the novel of Critical Eleven written by Ika Natassa. In addition, research related to traumatic loss and post-traumatic growth was used as supporting data. The research results show that the trauma of loss experienced by Anya is grief or mourning. Furthermore, the PTG domains found in Anya's personality reflected personal strength, inter-personal relationships, and spiritual change. In addition, this research also found that not all trauma survivors can achieve the five domains of post-traumatic growth due to the respective capabilities and life processes of each survivor.

Purpose. The objective is to conduct an analytical review of multidirectional studies on psychoemotional burnout of personality as a phenomenon that negatively impacts and significantly complicates its professional activity and interpersonal communication. Methods. To achieve this objective, the following scientific-theoretical methods were applied: analysis, synthesis, generalization, which allowed for the revelation of substantive and functional parameters of psychoemotional burnout. Results. A range of studies explains the cause-and-effect essence of psychoemotional burnout by the specifics of a person's professional activity. Burnout leads to the appearance of psychological and/or psychosomatic changes, adversely affects affective balance, generates increased stress, heightened anxiety, oppressive frustration, and other depressive feelings, experiences, and behavioral modalities. Monotonous and emotionally exhausting as well as physically amortizing professional activity in a specific field, along with permanent pressure from administration, may stimulate feelings of mental discomfort, increase the frequency of intra- and interpersonal conflicts, stimulate social withdrawal, loneliness, and experiences of disappointment in life values. Conclusions. Psychoemotional burnout is regarded as a complex and branching phenomenon that exerts an unfavorable influence on a person's life and complicates their communicative relationships within the family and at work. Manifestations of psychoemotional burnout and psychophysical exhaustion have been studied extensively with diverse samples (students, police officers, medical professionals, firefighters, athletes, deprived children, etc.). A common feature of the analyzed studies is the recognition of the uncomfortable and destructive pressure of psychoemotional burnout on the affective-cognitive behavioral tactics and strategies of the individual.
