Distant Reader - journal-psychiatryRes-cord

Introduction

This is a Distant Reader "study carrel", a set of structured data intended to help the student, researcher, or scholar use & understand a corpus.

This study carrel was created on 2021-05-30 by Eric Morgan <emorgan@nd.edu>. The carrel was created using the Distant Reader cord process, and the input was the result of a query applied to a local mirror of CORD, a data set of scholarly articles on the topic of COVID-19. The actual query was: facet_journal:"Psychiatry Res". The results of this query were saved in a cache and transformed into a set of plain text files. All of the analysis -- "reading" -- has been done against these plain text files. For example, a short narrative report has been created. This Web page is a more verbose version of that report.

All study carrels are self-contained -- no Internet connection is necessary to use them. Download this carrel for offline reading. The carrel is made up of many subdirectories and data files. The manifest describes each one in greater detail.

Size

There are 46 item(s) in this carrel, and this carrel is 105,582 words long. Each item in your study carrel is, on average, 2,399 words long. If you dig deeper, then you might want to save yourself some time by reading a shorter item. On the other hand, if your desire is for more detail, then you might consider reading a longer item. The following charts illustrate the overall size of the carrel.

Readability

On a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is very difficult and 100 is very easy, the documents have an average readability score of 49. Consequently, if you want to read something more simplistic, then consider a document with a higher score. If you want something more specialized, then consider something with a lower score. The following charts illustrate the overall readability of the carrel.

Word Frequencies

By merely counting & tabulating the frequency of individual words or phrases, you can begin to get an understanding of the carrel's "aboutness". Excluding "stop words", some of the more frequent words include:

health, covid, mental, anxiety, social, pandemic, study, depression, symptoms, psychological, support, participants, related, people, stress, among, impact, may, reported, also, associated, perceived, students, risk, outbreak, higher, loneliness, scale, scores, studies, care, measures, individuals, home, levels, use, time, one, patients, population, data, factors, survey, sample, psychiatric, significant, distress, suicide, disorder, public

Using the three most frequent words, the three files containing all of those words the most are The mental health impact of the covid-19 pandemic on healthcare workers, and interventions to help them: a rapid systematic review, Effects of general and sexual minority-specific COVID-19-related stressors on the mental health of lesbian, gay and bisexual people in Hong Kong, and Mental Health Outcomes Associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic: Prevalence and Risk Factors in a Southern US State.

The most frequent two-word phrases (bigrams) include:

mental health, social support, healthcare workers, perceived social, public health, social distancing, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, hong kong, health care, anxiety disorder, sleep quality, generalized anxiety, coronavirus disease, health problems, general population, lgb people, novel coronavirus, home order, cord uid, doc id, res doi, psychiatry res, social anxiety, psychological impact, perceived impact, primary care, home orders, related stressors, health outcomes, health anxiety, social isolation, systematic review, higher levels, risk factors, daily life, psychological distress, psychological outcomes, present study, health measures, high levels, mental disorders, young adults, sexual minority, health services, injury fatalities, higher scores, perceived stress, college students, point likert

And the three file that use all of the three most frequent phrases are The mental health impact of the covid-19 pandemic on healthcare workers, and interventions to help them: a rapid systematic review The Role of Perceived Social Support on Depression and Sleep during the COVID-19 Pandemic, and Pilot Trial of a Transdiagnostic Computerized Anxiety Sensitivity Intervention Among VA Primary Care Patients.

While often deemed superficial or sophomoric, rudimentary frequencies and their associated "word clouds" can be quite insightful:

Keywords

Sets of keywords -- statistically significant words -- can be enumerated by comparing the relative frequency of words with the number of times the words appear in an entire corpus. Some of the most statistically significant keywords in the carrel include:

covid-19, mental, health, suicide, social, phq-9, patient, ocd, kong, covid, worker, veteran, university, u.s., symptom, support, substance, student, stress, stay, sns, smi, sars, ptsd, ppe, people, pandemic, nurse, medium, loneliness, lockdown, lgb, lau, killgore, italian, injury, increase, hong, homeless, home, healthcare, gad-7, gad, french, fatality, ema, e&a, derailment, cmc, chinese

And now word clouds really begin to shine:

Topic Modeling

Topic modeling is another popular approach to connoting the aboutness of a corpus. If the study carrel could be summed up in a single word, then that word might be health, and COVID-19 paranoia in a patient suffering from schizophrenic psychosis – a case report is most about that word.

If the study carrel could be summed up in three words ("topics") then those words and their significantly associated titles include:

If the study carrel could be summed up in five topics, and each topic were each denoted with three words, then those topics and their most significantly associated files would be:

health, covid, 2020 - Alarming levels of psychiatric symptoms and the role of loneliness during the COVID-19 epidemic: A case study of Hong Kong
health, social, mental - Pilot Trial of a Transdiagnostic Computerized Anxiety Sensitivity Intervention Among VA Primary Care Patients
health, covid, mental - The mental health impact of the covid-19 pandemic on healthcare workers, and interventions to help them: a rapid systematic review
covid, health, anxiety - Psychological Outcomes Associated with Stay-at-Home Orders and the Perceived Impact of COVID-19 on Daily Life
covid, depression, anxiety - A Longitudinal Investigation of the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Mental Health of Individuals with Pre-existing Severe Mental Illnesses

Moreover, the totality of the study carrel's aboutness, can be visualized with the following pie chart:

Noun & Verbs

Through an analysis of your study carrel's parts-of-speech, you are able to answer question beyonds aboutness. For example, a list of the most frequent nouns helps you answer what questions; "What is discussed in this collection?":

health, anxiety, pandemic, study, symptoms, depression, support, participants, students, stress, impact, people, risk, scores, studies, loneliness, outbreak, individuals, care, time, measures, levels, patients, home, data, factors, population, suicide, workers, sample, scale, healthcare, disorder, survey, level, age, use, results, children, research, lockdown, self, distress, effects, life, outcomes, score, family, disorders, infection

An enumeration of the verbs helps you learn what actions take place in a text or what the things in the text do. Very frequently, the most common lemmatized verbs are "be", "have", and "do"; the more interesting verbs usually occur further down the list of frequencies:

reported, used, perceived, associated, related, including, assess, increase, provide, shows, indicated, found, based, experiencing, compared, following, needs, reduce, conducted, completed, living, identified, examined, considered, affects, suggesting, presenting, leading, feeling, stay, regarding, received, makes, ranges, given, developed, coping, work, asked, resulted, predicted, saw, contributed, taken, understand, rated, focused, evaluate, observed, measure

Proper Nouns

An extraction of proper nouns helps you determine the names of people and places in your study carrel.

COVID-19, Health, China, Anxiety, Kong, PTSD, Hong, GAD-7, Mental, LGB, SARS, PHQ-9, Table, Social, U.S., VA, Coronavirus, Res, sha, COVID, Disease, Depression, Scale, March, DOI, Likert, University, Stress, T2, F, Impact, Loneliness, Psychological, National, April, Wuhan, SNS, World, Alzheimer, US, UCLA, OCD, Cronbach, Support, Organization, Wang, United, CDC, Canada, CMC

An analysis of personal pronouns enables you to answer at least two questions: 1) "What, if any, is the overall gender of my study carrel?", and 2) "To what degree are the texts in my study carrel self-centered versus inclusive?"

their, we, it, they, our, them, its, you, he, i, she, her, your, one, his, us, themselves, my, me, itself, him, himself, yourself, tv/, theirs, skp6tiun, oneself, myself

Below are words cloud of your study carrel's proper & personal pronouns.

Adjectives & Verbs

Learning about a corpus's adjectives and adverbs helps you answer how questions: "How are things described and how are things done?" An analysis of adjectives and adverbs also points to a corpus's overall sentiment. "In general, is my study carrel positive or negative?"

mental, social, psychological, covid-19, higher, significant, psychiatric, negative, current, high, general, depressive, severe, greater, clinical, medical, public, first, online, lower, physical, financial, likely, low, positive, specific, daily, potential, chinese, young, non, many, different, important, sexual, present, primary, possible, demographic, cross, sectional, previous, moderate, personal, past, several, generalized, emotional, systematic, major
