Many people spend a significant amount of their daily lives communicating with one another online. Children and teenagers are significantly more likely than adults to engage socially online, enabling them to communicate with anyone, anywhere from a very young age. These users may be unaware that they are harming others by their words and actions online, while those exposed to such antisocial behaviour online may feel unable to remove themselves from situations detrimental to their mental wellbeing.Research in psychology and the social sciences has shown that negative experiences with online contact can have deleterious effects on users' mental health and may in turn encourage certain types of antisocial behaviours. While all users can and should be concerned about who they engage with online, this project focuses on groups of users who are likely to have specific concerns about exposure to online content and contact, such as parental figures, teenagers, and children. This project has the potential to both help users who exhibit antisocial conduct to engage in more prosocial behaviour, and to prevent others from being subjected to harmful behaviours.At its core, this research seeks to develop tools that afford users greater control over the contact they experience in online spaces. It combines research from psychology, learning sciences, linguistics, and computer science in order to explore automated solutions that can identify specific threats within the context of online interactions in real time. Specifically, pattern analysis of word use in conversations will be used to assess whether a user's online conversation displays antisocial characteristics. These methods will be combined with machine learning to create tools that can be deployed as conversations unfold.The ultimate purpose of this research is to provide two complimentary measures to make online communication safer: On the one hand, it will produce tools that provide real-time educational interventions to individuals whose conversations display traits of specific types of conduct, such as cyberbullying. On the other, it will provide users seeking to protect themselves and those under their care (e.g. parents and children) with a notification system when conversations escalate to levels that the users deem undesirable.This project falls within the EPSRC Digital Economy research area where Trust, identity, Privacy and Security is one of the themes or research areas listed on this website https://www.epsrc.ac.uk/research/ourportfolio/themes/.

许多人在日常生活中花了大量的时间在网上交流。儿童和青少年比成年人更有可能在网上进行社交活动，这使他们能够在很小的时候就在任何地方与任何人交流。这些用户可能没有意识到他们在网上的言行正在伤害他人，而那些在网上接触到这种反社会行为的人可能会觉得无法摆脱对他们的心理健康有害的情况。心理学和社会科学的研究表明，在线联系的负面体验会对用户的心理健康产生有害影响，反过来可能会鼓励某些类型的反社会行为。虽然所有用户都可以也应该关注他们与谁在线接触，但该项目关注的是那些可能对在线内容和接触有特定担忧的用户群体，如父母人物、青少年和儿童。该项目有可能帮助表现出反社会行为的用户进行更多的亲社会行为，并防止其他人受到有害行为的影响。该研究的核心是开发工具，使用户能够更好地控制他们在在线空间中的接触。它结合了心理学、学习科学、语言学和计算机科学的研究，以探索能够实时识别在线交互环境中的特定威胁的自动化解决方案。具体地说，对话中的词语使用模式分析将被用来评估用户的在线对话是否表现出反社会特征。这些方法将与机器学习相结合，创建可以在对话展开时部署的工具。这项研究的最终目的是提供两种补充措施，使在线交流更加安全：一方面，它将产生工具，为对话表现出特定类型行为特征的个人提供实时教育干预，如网络欺凌。另一方面，它将为寻求保护自己和那些在他们照顾下的人(例如父母和孩子)的用户提供一个通知系统，当对话升级到用户认为不希望看到的水平时。该项目属于EPSRC数字经济研究领域，其中信任、身份、隐私和安全是网站https://www.epsrc.ac.uk/research/ourportfolio/themes/.列出的主题或研究领域之一
