• Abstract summary: Low self-esteem and interpersonal needs have a major impact on depression and suicide attempts. Individuals seek social connectedness on social media to boost and alleviate their loneliness. We introduce a psychology-grounded and expertly annotated dataset, LoST: Low Self esTeem, to study and detect low self-esteem on Reddit.

• Abstract: Low self-esteem and interpersonal needs (i.e., thwarted belongingness (TB) and perceived burdensomeness (PB)) have a major impact on depression and suicide attempts. Individuals seek social connectedness on social media to boost and alleviate their loneliness. Social media platforms allow people to express their thoughts, experiences, beliefs, and emotions. Prior studies on mental health from social media have focused on symptoms, causes, and disorders. Whereas an initial screening of social media content for interpersonal risk factors and low self-esteem may raise early alerts and assign therapists to at-risk users of mental disturbance. Standardized scales measure self-esteem and interpersonal needs from questions created using psychological theories. In the current research, we introduce a psychology-grounded and expertly annotated dataset, LoST: Low Self esTeem, to study and detect low self-esteem on Reddit. Through an annotation approach involving checks on coherence, correctness, consistency, and reliability, we ensure gold-standard for supervised learning. We present results from different deep language models tested using two data augmentation techniques. Our findings suggest developing a class of language models that infuses psychological and clinical knowledge.

  We analyse the impact of receiving online feedback on users' emotional experience, social connectedness and self-esteem. We find that experiencing little to no reaction from others does not only elicit negative emotions amongst users, but also induces low levels of self-esteem. In contrast, receiving much positive online feedback, evokes feelings of social connectedness and reduces overall loneliness.
