What do we mean by social in mental health research?

Brossard, Baptiste; Cruwys, Tegan; Zhou, Haochen; Helleren-Simpson, Gabriel

Description

This article presents a methodology designed to study what is considered “social” in research on the topic of mental health. Examining a sample of 289 academic publications, we coded the meanings attributed to “social” and their linkage to mental health. Reflecting on this methodology offers a way to discuss the various uses of the adjective “social,” and highlights the significance of its (often lacking) definition in the construction of research objects.
