“…These hashtags allow users to find videos that are relevant to their interests. Operating as a memetic trope, hashtagslike other elements of digital platforms, such as profile tags, audio, effects, or viral themes -are identifying signs of connectivity (Pérez-Rodríguez et al, 2022), "a register for the realm of feelings, ideas, and beliefs (Papacharissi, 2015) and a "way to emphasize values, experience, attitudes and opinions in the message" (Pilař et al, 2021). The average amount of hashtags used by professionals is 6.5 per video, much larger in comparison to the average of 4.7 used by other creators.…”

Recent research has revealed that popular social media platforms are emerging as crucial digital health sources for individuals across demographics, but more so for adolescents and young adults (Lupton, 2021; McCashin & Murphy, 2022; Montag et al., 2021). ΤikTok is the latest social networking tool said to be functioning as a source of informal mental health communication and is increasingly being utilized for giving and seeking advice, sharing information and personal stories about the symptoms, effects, challenges, and coping strategies related to stress and anxiety, among other mental health issues (McCashin & Murphy, 2022). Despite the rapid growth of TikTok-based research, investigations of mental health-relevant content on this platform are still very few. The current study aims to contribute to this body of research through a content analysis of the most popular TikTok videos labelled with pertinent hashtags, namely #anxiety, #stress, and #stressrelief. The aim is to map the practices through which TikTok content creators appropriate the platform’s affordances in order to create content and generate interactions around a focal object of common concern. The analysis focuses on diverse aspects of the platform’s use as a medium for creating stress- and anxiety-related content, including the content creator identity and presentation, video format, type and purpose, audience engagement levels, as well as reported sources, symptoms, consequences, and coping techniques of stress and anxiety. The examination of TikTok user practices offers insights into the evolving patterns of consumption and production of digital content, and cultural production in a social media context.

Instant messaging applications integrated in smartphones have favored the emergence of new digital writing systems, which are characterized by the use of specific spellings called textisms. This study analyses the relationship between the use of textisms and spelling mistakes in academic texts. The methodology applied was descriptive, based on a directed content analysis. The sample consisted of 270 students in the third and fourth years of compulsory secondary education enrolled in twelve public high schools in the autonomous community of Andalusia. Data were obtained from real texts provided by the students participating in the study, extracted, on the one hand, from WhatsApp messages from their smartphones, and, on the other, from academic texts produced as an activity in the secondary school classroom. The results obtained from the descriptive analyses and the bivariate correlation analyses (Pearson coefficient) allow us to affirm that the average number of textisms in WhatsApp of the sample is much higher than the number of misspellings in school texts, which confirms that textisms are intentional discrepancies with the academic norm in the digital context. Consequently, they cannot be considered as misspellings that occur due to a lack of knowledge of the Spanish language, but rather as new forms of language generated by the use of digital technologies. Las aplicaciones de mensajería instantánea integradas en los teléfonos inteligentes han favorecido el surgimiento de nuevos sistemas de escritura digital, que se caracterizan por emplear grafías específicas denominadas textismos. Este estudio analiza la relación entre el uso de textismos y las faltas de ortografía en textos académicos. La metodología aplicada ha sido de carácter descriptivo, basado en el análisis de contenido dirigido. La muestra la integran 270 estudiantes de tercero y cuarto de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria matriculados en doce institutos públicos de la Comunidad Autónoma Andaluza. Los datos se obtuvieron a partir de textos reales aportados por el alumnado participante en el estudio, extraídos por un lado de mensajes de WhatsApp de sus teléfonos inteligentes y por otro de textos académicos elaborados como actividad del aula de Secundaria. Los resultados obtenidos a partir de los análisis descriptivos y los análisis de correlación bivariada (coeficiente de Pearson) permiten afirmar que el promedio de textismos en WhatsApp de la muestra es muy superior al de faltas de ortografía en los textos escolares; lo que confirma que los textismos son discrepancias intencionadas con la norma académica en el contexto digital. En consecuencia, no pueden ser considerados como faltas de ortografía que se producen por desconocimiento de la lengua española, sino nuevas formas de lenguaje generadas por el uso de las tecnologías digitales.
