BACKGROUND Concern about the mental health and wellbeing of students in university education continues to mount. Psychoeducation has the potential to support students experiencing varying levels of distress and help meet the demand for support, however there is a need to understand how these programmes are used and experienced. Online diaries are a particularly useful activity for psychoeducation due to their therapeutic benefits, ability to capture naturalistic data relevant to wellbeing, and appropriateness for computerized text analysis methods. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to examine how university students use electronic diaries within a psychoeducation programme designed to enhance mental wellbeing (Science of Happiness Course). METHODS The Science of Happiness course was administered to 154 undergraduate students within a university setting (United Kingdom). Online diaries were collected from students for a total of 9 weeks. Baseline wellbeing data were collected using the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS). The percentage of negative and positive emotion words used in diaries (emotional tone) and use of words from 5 life domains (social, work, money, health, and leisure) was calculated using the LIWC2015 software. Random effects (generalized least squares) regression models were estimated in STATA 16 to examine the to examine how far time, diary characteristics, demographics and baseline wellbeing predict the emotion tone of diary entries. RESULTS A total of 149 students participated in the diary study, producing 1124 individual diary entries. Compliance to the diary task peaked in week 1 (93%) and was at its lowest in week 3 (72%). Compared to week 1, diaries were significantly more positive in their emotional tone during week 5 (mean difference 23.90, 95% CI: 16.89, 30.90) and week 6 (26.62, 95% CI: 19.35, 33.88) when students were tasked with writing about gratitude and their strengths. Across weeks, moderate and high baseline SWEMWBS scores were associated with a higher percentage of positive emotion words in diaries (increases compared with low SWEMWBS scoring students were 5.03 (95% CI: 0.08, 9.98) and 7.48 (95% CI: 1.84, 13.12) respectively). At week 1, the diaries of students with the highest levels of baseline SWEMWBS (82.92, 95% CI: 73.08, 92.76) were noticeably more emotionally positive on average than the diaries of students with the lowest levels of baseline SWEMWBS (59.38, 95% CI: 51.02, 67.73). Diaries largely focused on the use of social words. The emotional tone of diary entries was positively related to use of leisure (3.56, 95% CI: 2.28, 4.85), social (0.74, 95% CI: 0.21, 1.27), and inversely to health words (-1.96, 95% CI: -3.70, -0.22). CONCLUSIONS We found evidence for short-term task specific spikes in the emotional positivity of online diary entries, and recommend future studies examine the possibility of longer-term impacts on the writing and wellbeing of students. With student wellbeing in mind, universities should ensure leisure and social activities are facilitated and encouraged.

This project investigates emotionality by brands on social media. First, we analyze a field dataset of over 200,000 text and images posts by brands across two major platforms. Using recent automated text analysis (Study 1a) and computer vision methods (Studies 1b and 1c), we provide initial documentation of a negative relationship between brand emotionality and status. Exploring this relationship further, in Studies 2, 3, and 4, we find that brands can leverage this association, reducing emotionality in brand communications to increase perceived brand status. This strategy is effective because reduced emotionality is associated with high-status communication norms, which evoke high-status reference groups. This finding is moderated by the status context of the brand (Study 2) and the product type (Study 4).

This study involved a qualitative examination of the personal characteristics that university students saw as important in helping them to compensate for their reading difficulties at various stages of their education. The sample consisted of 10 undergraduate students or recent graduates who reported a significant history of reading difficulties. Data were collected using in-depth, open-ended interviews with each participant. These data were then analyzed using a form of whole text analysis and resulted in four major themes: seeking assistance from others, de-veloping positive relationships with others, being highly motivated to achieve, and maintaining a belief in one’s abilities. The findings highlight the broad range of factors that can influence motivation and self-concept and the wide variety of people who can be involved in providing assistance to individuals with reading difficulties. The implications of the findings for educational practice and for fur-ther research are discussed.
