Passive Social Media Use Is Associated with Social Withdrawal (“Hikikomori”) Vulnerability in Autistic and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Young Adults
Autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are neurodevelopmental conditions associated with social communication differences and distinctive patterns of online engagement. Both conditions have been linked to increased risk of social withdrawal, yet little research has examined hikikomori vulnerability—a continuum of withdrawal-related tendencies—within a transdiagnostic digital context. This study investigated hikikomori vulnerab…
Pathological and non-pathological hikikomori
These findings suggest a complex relationship between social media use and social withdrawal. Future research should explore whether communication through YouTube and TikTok is linked to social isolation and whether these platforms could serve as intervention tools to support pathological hikikomori. Importantly, as the sample consisted of self-identified frequent internet users, generalizability to the broader population of hikikomori should be …
Thrown in the deep end”
Lack of standardised guidelines and stigmatisation around self-harm are key barriers that prevent staff from effectively addressing self-harm. Training is crucial for school staff to respond safely to self-harm and avoid fearful or avoidant responses, alongside increased access to clinically trained professionals. These findings are discussed in relation to school-based interventions targeted towards self-harm
The Relationship Between Hikikomori Risk and Internet Use During Covid-19 Restrictions
This study explores the phenomenon of hikikomori, or extreme social isolation, which for the past 20 years has been associated with a range of negative outcomes, including psychological, financial, and social. As hikikomori is associated with marked social withdrawal in one's home and increased Internet use, it has been suggested that the social and technological changes brought about by COVID-19 restrictions may exacerbate the risk of hikikomori…
DiabetesOnAPlate
People living with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes (T1DM &T2DM) report that media – including journalism, health promotion, and popular culture – are a primary source of stigmatic representations of diabetes, and that this compromises their physical and mental health. This view of diabetes as stigmatised is not shared by many health professionals and nor the wider public. We used an existing representation of diabetes on Instagram, #DiabetesOnAPlate, …
Men’s Perspectives on Their Grooming Practices and Appearance Concerns
This mixed method study explores importance of and influences on men’s grooming behaviors and appearance concerns. Survey data from 83 men based in the United Kingdom showed high social media users engaged in significantly more grooming behaviors than low users. Gay men viewed grooming as significantly more important and implemented more grooming habits than straight men. Qualitative responses yielded themes relating to standards set by tradition…
Attributions of victim responsibility in revenge pornography
Purpose Revenge pornography is a growing risk among adolescents and young adults. Often stemming from sexting, some victims of revenge pornography report experiencing victim-blame similar to that accompanying the reporting of rape. The purpose of this paper is to explore the assumptions that underlie attributions of victim-blame, with a focus on perpetrator and victim responsibility, as well as gendered assumptions surrounding sexting. Design/met…
The Presentation of Self-Harm Recovery
Little is known about how recovery from self-harm is understood by individuals with personal experience of self-harm. YouTube is an important online venue for posting and discussion of user-generated self-harm videos. Drawing on this material, this study explores how self-harm recovery is presented on YouTube. The 30 most highly-viewed videos about recovery from self-harm were thematically analysed. Three themes were identified: 1) a desire for c…
The NSSI Paradox
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is commonly shared online. In the offline world, secrecy is a sign of "real" or authentic self-injury; therefore, openly sharing NSSI in the online context could be considered a paradoxical behavior. We explored how users of an online NSSI site negotiated this apparent paradox. Contrary to our expectations, contributing text and photographs to an online site did not appear to compromise authentic identity. We sugge…
Social identity formation during the emergence of the occupy movement
The Occupy movement made a series of local ‘sit‐ins’ in cities across the world in response to financial and political injustices. Prior to the movement's emergence, the Internet provided a transnational forum for people across the world to discuss their opinions and coalesce about the financial and political contexts. Here, we analyse 5343 posts on the ‘#OccupyWallStreet’ Facebook event page to identify linguistic markers of shared social identi…
Doing weight
This paper explores the role of online ‘body talk’ (text‐based communication about bodies and bodily experiences) in the management, negotiation and development of eating disorder related identities. Two anorexia related Internet discussion forums (a ‘pro‐ana’ and a ‘recovery’ website) were analyzed through the means of discourse analysis. The analysis focused on the type of body‐talk produced in the different sites and the functions of this talk…
The Presentation of "Pro-Anorexia" in Online Group Interactions
Although pro-anorexia online support forums and the narratives that occur within them are increasingly the focus of research, none, to date, focuses closely on issues of identity within this online context. Our aim in conducting this study was to examine the presentation of pro-anorexia via an interpretive phenomenological analysis of postings to a pro-anorexia ("pro-ana") online discussion forum. Analysis indicates that pro-anorexic identities a…
The Ethics of Using the Internet to Collect Qualitative Research Data
The practice of conducting research online is in its infancy. Consequently there is debate concerning the ethical implications of online data collection. We outline three approaches to online data collection and focus specifically on the issues of consent and anonymity of participants. We conclude that ethical issues raised when planning and implementing online data collection are no different to those raised by more traditional approaches to dat…
Investigating the "Self" in Deliberate Self-Harm
In this study, the authors explored how a group of young people aged 16 to 26 years (who identified themselves as having engaged in deliberate self-harm) made sense of the self by conducting two online focus groups and four e-mail interviews. They analyzed data using interpretive phenomenological analysis. The concept of validation was the primary means of making sense of the self and concerned the desire to be considered legitimate and of worth.…

Television Teen Drama and HIV/Aids
This study focuses on audience understandings of safe-sex messages ?contained? in television drama. It focuses on the process of audience construction of meaning; on the work that audiences engage in to understand HIV-related television messages. Data consist of 20 focus group discussions conducted subsequent to the viewing of one of two AIDS-related television programmes. Following a Shotterian approach to meaning construction, analyses of audie…
Arousing suspicion and violating trust
This paper addresses issues surrounding sexual negotiation between young men and women, specifically on the assumptions informing two commonly perceived risks associated with safe sex talk with a sexual partner: arousing suspicion and violating trust. By utilizing a distinction between ¿lived¿ and ¿intellectual¿ ideologies, these issues are explored through an examination of the tensions that exist between young people's understandings of ¿offici…
