Advancements in computing technologies have resulted in the creation of several automated processes that have expanded the capabilities of researchers, including the Linguistic Inquiry Word Count software (LIWC). With the help of these automated analyses, academics have identified correlations between the use of First Person Singular Pronouns and depression, as well as words that convey negative affect and positive affect and anxiety. These correlations vary in strength and robustness, but when combined, they can create innovative tools and techniques for identifying mental illness. In particular, the application of Linguistic Analysis to social media platforms offers the opportunity to quickly and easily identify those at risk, while also posing important ethical and moral questions that have yet to be answered. 2021-05-19 English text Kent State University Honors College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1620659259937997 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1620659259937997 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
