Abstract

My research uses computational methods to understand deviant online communities to assess their health and well-being. My prior work studies the pro-eating disorder community, a specific deviant community that glorifies disordered eating behaviors. In my dissertation, I expand on this work in three ways: to help moderators manage deviant mental wellness content, to understand normative behaviors of support in communities, and ethical issues of predicting individualized mental wellness. Understanding these behaviors at-scale can help medical research develop better intervention strategies through social media as well as understanding bad behavior to make better online communities.
