Background: On the Internet, individuals can freely read about or talk to others about suicide. However, little is known about the nature of these online interactions and the potential impact on users. Aims: This study aimed to examine the characteristics of online comments following high-profile celebrity suicide, comparing top-rated comments with controversial comments. Method: Comments from a popular thread on Reddit made following the deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain were examined using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count and qualitative content analysis. Results: Top-scoring comments were associated with a higher level of authenticity, a higher word count, and a greater focus on the past. These comments were characterized by personal stories of experiences with suicidality or knowing someone who had attempted/died by suicide. Limitations: Our small sample size was underpowered for the linguistic characteristic analyses, and differences in some characteristics may not have been identified. Conclusions: Despite concerns over the potential dangers of the Internet on suicide, it can serve as a place for individuals to share personal stories and obtain support from others.

高调名人自杀后在线评论的特征。

背景:在互联网上,个人可以自由地阅读或与他人谈论自杀。然而,人们对这些在线互动的性质以及对用户的潜在影响知之甚少。目的:本研究旨在研究高调名人自杀后在线评论的特征,将评分最高的评论与有争议的评论进行比较。方法:在 Kate Spade 和 Anthony Bourdain 去世后,Reddit 上一个热门话题的评论使用语言查询和字数统计以及定性内容分析进行了检查。结果:得分最高的评论与更高水平的真实性、更高的字数和更关注过去有关。这些评论的特点是关于自杀经历的个人故事或认识某人试图/死于自杀的个人故事。局限性:我们的小样本量不足以进行语言特征分析,并且某些特征的差异可能尚未确定。结论:尽管人们担心互联网对自杀的潜在危险,但它可以作为个人分享个人故事和获得他人支持的场所。
