What Internet Habits Say about Mental Health_环球科学 - - 科学美国人中文版（独家授权） 上网习惯揭示心理健康 Researchers find clues to depression in what people do online Consider two questions. First: Who are you? What makes you different from your peers, in terms of the things you buy, the clothes you wear, and the car you drive (or refuse to)? What makes you unique in terms of your basic psychological make-up—the part of you that makes you do the things you do, say the things you say, and feel the things you feel? And the second question: How do you use the internet? 研究者们在人们的上网方式上发现抑郁症的迹象。 先回答两个问题。第一：你是谁？什么让你与同龄人不一样——是你买的东西，你的穿着还是你开的车（或者不愿意开的车）？在心理层面上什么让你与众不同——你为何做你所做，说你所说，以及感你所感？第二个问题：你如何使用网络？ Although these questions may seem unrelated, they’re not. Clearly the content of your internet usage can suggest certain psychological characteristics. Spending a lot of late nights playing high stakes internet poker? Chances are you are a risk taker. Like to post videos of yourself doing karaoke on YouTube? Clearly an extravert. But what about the mechanics of your internet usage—how often you email others, chat online, stream media, or multi-task (switch from one application or website to another)? Can these behaviors—regardless of their content—also predict psychological characteristics? Recent research conducted by a team of computer scientists, engineers, and psychologists suggests that it might. Indeed, their data show that such analysis could predict a particularly important aspect of the self: the tendency to experience depression. 尽管这些问题看似无所关联，但是它们之间是存在联系的。你对于网络的使用可以反映出你的心理特点。经常熬夜上网打高赌注扑克？你有可能爱好冒险。喜欢往Youtube上传自己唱卡拉ok的视频？你显然很外向。还有你在做某件事的频率——比如发邮件，聊天，看视频或是在应用软件（或网站）之间换来换去。这些行为——先抛开具体内容不谈——是否也可以同样预示你的心理特点？最近一项由计算机科学家，计算机工程师以及心理学家共同完成的研究表明以上所说皆有可能。事实上，他们的数据显示这种基于网络的分析可以预示关于自我的一个重要特征： 抑郁症的趋势。 First, the research team asked over 200 volunteers to fill out a survey about “recent affective experiences;” what the volunteers didn’t know was that a well-known measure of
