这项研究的目的是调查在线社交网络如何促进青少年在同伴突然死亡后的悲痛。研究人员审阅了2005至2007年间去世的青少年撰写的20份个人资料，从死后发布在这些资料上的评论中收集信息。观察到的主题包括青少年互联网用户直接对死者发表评论，发布悼念情绪，应对策略的指标，当前事件和记忆，对评论行为的评论，死因，来自远方或未知同龄人的评论，宗教信仰，以及参加葬礼。除了延长与逝者的依恋，在线社交网络还有助于青少年应对，给予他们无限的自由和机会来反思他们与逝者的关系。
The purpose of this study was to examine how online social networking facilitates adolescent grieving following the sudden death of a peer. Researchers reviewed 20 profiles authored by adolescents who had died between 2005 and 2007 collecting information from commentary posted to the profiles posthumously. Observed themes included adolescent Internet users directing comments to the deceased, posting memorial sentiments, indicators of coping strategies, current events and memories, comments about the act of commenting, cause of death, comments from distal or unknown peers, religious beliefs, and attending the funeral. In addition to prolonging an attachment with the deceased, online social networking also facilitates teenagers' coping in a way that grants unlimited freedom and opportunity to reflect back over their relationship with the deceased.
