Abstract
We examined whether the way we talk about our problems influence how others support us. We coded 495 support-seeking posts from Reddit for motivational, affective, and structural elements. Using latent profile analysis, we found a five-profile solution that differentially predicted the quality, but not quantity, of support posts received.
