Figure 3.

Mood and suicide relatedness of the 10,222 most common words in contemporary English. Original mood scores are plotted along the horizontal axis and the suicide-relatedness ratings from the current study are plotted along the vertical axis. Each word is represented by a gray dot, a random subsample of which also have text displayed for the reader. The curved solid line represents the smoothed relationship between mood scores (sad to happy) and suicide-relatedness scores among words. The vertical dashed lines demarcate sad and happy words (mood scores below 4 or above 6, respectively). The shaded box represents the set of words leading to a positive SRV score for a post. Application of these scores is further described in the Method section and illustrated for hypothetical posts in Table 1. SRV = Suicide-related Verbalization.
