Antagonism on YouTube
Similar to many sites on the Internet, interaction on YouTube often features confrontational, antagonistic exchanges among users. YouTube comments threads in particular are known for their offensive, conflagratory content. This books looks at this form of discourse. The term 'drama' (or 'flame wars') appears often as a label for a phenomenon that is easily recognisable. In these cases, serious disagreements can become entangled with interpersonal relationships and users take positions for themselves in relation to others and social controversies.
The focus of this book is on the ways in which metaphor contributes to the development of Internet drama, particularly on YouTube. Although a growing body of research into YouTube social interaction continues to develop descriptions of user experience on YouTube, empirical studies of the YouTube video page are rare, as well as close discourse analysis of user interaction on the site. This research specifically focuses on the interaction of a group of users discussing issues of Christian theology and atheism on the site, analysing how discourse facilitates to antagonistic interaction among users.
Since YouTube drama occurs publicly, the book focuses on actual YouTube video pages rather than user reports of their actions and responses. It investigates how and why YouTube drama develops through a systematic description and analysis of user discourse activity. Through close analysis of video pages, this study contributes to a greater academic understanding of Internet antagonism and YouTube interaction by revealing the factors which contribute to the development of drama over time.

The chain mediating role of negative emotions at work and meaning in life between interpersonal conflict at work and depressive symptoms among nurses: a multicenter cross-sectional study
Background
Depressive symptoms among nurses have been a significant public health concern. Although many studies have demonstrated the potential relationship between interpersonal conflict at work and depressive symptoms, the mechanisms underlying this relationship among nurses remain unclear. Based on the theoretical and empirical research, this study aimed to investigate the multiple mediating effects of negative emotion at work and meaning in life on the relationship between interpersonal conflict at work and depressive symptoms among nurses.
Methods
An online multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in 15 hospitals from different geographical areas of Hunan Province, China, from December 2021 to February 2022. A total of 1754 nurses completed validated self-reported questionnaires, including their sociodemographic information, interpersonal conflict at work, negative emotions at work, meaning in life, and depressive symptoms. Descriptive statistics analysis, Spearman’s correlation analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, and chain mediation analysis were performed using IBM SPSS software (version 29) and Mplus software (version 8).
Results
There were significant correlations between interpersonal conflict at work, negative emotions at work, meaning in life, and depressive symptoms (
r
= -0.206 ~ 0.518, all
p
< 0.01). Interpersonal conflict at work had a statistically significantly direct effect on depressive symptoms (
β
= 0.061; 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.011 ~ 0.126,
p =
0.039). Analysis of mediating effects revealed that interpersonal conflict at work also influenced depressive symptoms through two statistically significantly indirect pathways: (a) the mediating effect of negative emotions at work (
β
= 0.167; 95% CI: 0.138 ~ 0.195,
p
< 0.001) and (b) the chain mediating effect between negative emotions at work and meaning in life (
β
= 0.008; 95% CI: 0.003 ~ 0.013,
p =
0.005).
Conclusion
Interpersonal conflict at work has a direct positive effect on depressive symptoms among nurses. Meanwhile, interpersonal conflict at work can influence depressive symptoms among nurses through the mediating effect of negative emotions at work and the chain mediating effect between negative emotions at work and meaning in life.

Person-group fit predicted the joint trajectories of group cohesion and interpersonal conflicts among personnel during a prolonged mission in isolated and confined environment under sea: a parallel-process growth mixture modeling approach
The parallel-process growth mixture models was employed to investigate the joint trajectories of group cohesion and interpersonal conflicts and group heterogeneity of the trajectories in isolated and confined environments (ICEs). The predictive role of person-group fit on these trajectories were examined by logistic regression models. 209 Chinese male workers in capsule habitats under sea were recruited and completed 5-wave tests during a 56-day under-sea mission. 2 latent subgroups were identifed: (1) Unstable group (
n
= 133, 65.84%) partly conformed to the third-quarter phenomenon; (2) Stable group (
n
= 69, 34.16%) kept stably low interpersonal conflicts and high group cohesion throughout the entire mission. Participants with higher levels of baseline person-group fit were more likely to belong to Stable group. The third quarter of the mission may be a critical stage for group cohesion in ICEs. Person-group fit should be considered as predictors in personnel selection for ICEs.

Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviours Among Autistic Adults Presenting to the Psychiatric Emergency Department: An Exploratory Chart Review
Despite increasing attention on suicidality in autistic people, we know little about suicidal presentations when autistic individuals present to hospital emergency departments (ED). We conducted an exploratory retrospective chart review of suicidal thoughts and behaviours (STB) of autistic adults who presented to a psychiatric ED. The analysis included 16 charts over a 10-week period. Findings highlight that reported STB were not always the presenting issue. Life transitions and interpersonal conflicts were common antecedents, and active rumination about STB was distressing and fatiguing. Findings imply that ED visits serve as important opportunities for suicidal risk reduction for autistic individuals, through implementation of strategies for identification of STB such as active screening, and the provision of suicide resources tailored to autistic people.
