中文心理咨询中，负面情绪词多预示抑郁焦虑重，但第一人称使用不随心理状态变化。
The Expressions of Depression and Anxiety in Chinese Psycho-counseling: Usage of First-person Singular Pronoun and Negative Emotional Words
- 用语料库分析735次咨询对话，量化第一人称和负面词频率。
- 负面词频与抑郁焦虑程度正相关，但第一人称频次无显著变化。
- 揭示文化差异对心理语言表达的影响，适合临床心理学研究者参考。
本研究探讨中文心理咨询互动中语言表达与抑郁、焦虑心理状态的关系，聚焦第一人称单数代词和负面情绪词的使用。基于735次在线咨询会话的语料库，采用广义线性混合效应模型，通过语言探究与词频统计（LIWC）软件量化语言模式。结果显示，负面情绪词频率与抑郁及焦虑严重程度呈显著正相关；然而，与多数基于英语语境的研究不同，第一人称单数代词的使用频率并不随来访者心理状况显著变化。这一发现结合集体主义中国文化背景与心理咨询互动特性进行讨论，凸显文化及对话语境对心理健康语言表达的微妙影响，为中文语境下心理治疗中的语义标记提供实证依据。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study explores the relationship between linguistic expressions and psychological states of depression and anxiety within Chinese psycho-counseling interactions, focusing specifically on the usage of first-person singular pronouns and negative emotional words. Utilizing a corpus derived from 735 online counseling sessions, the analysis employed a general linear mixed-effect model to assess linguistic patterns quantified by the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software. Results indicate a significant positive correlation between the frequency of negative emotional words and the severity of both depressive and anxious states among clients. However, contrary to prior findings predominantly derived from English-language contexts, the usage frequency of first-person singular pronouns did not vary significantly with the clients' psychological conditions. These outcomes are discussed within the framework of cultural distinctions between collectivist Chinese contexts and individualistic Western settings, as well as the interactive dynamics unique to psycho-counseling conversations. The findings highlight the nuanced influence of cultural and conversational contexts on language use in mental health communications, providing insights into psycholinguistic markers relevant to therapeutic practices in Chinese-speaking populations.
