q2 i? Weeks of stronger, more assertive concern language (Strong_GI) were associated with fewer steps/day and lower MET-min medium, while work-oriented language (Work_GI) was positively associated with steps/day. → forceful-activity

SEANCE dictionary-feature results for the physical activity outcomes in the within-person mixed-effects models. The article reports "Forceful language ( Strong_GI) showed the strongest and most consistent associations" with fewer steps and lower MET-min medium, and separately that Work_GI was positively associated with steps/day. No effect sizes are printed.

"Forceful language ( Strong_GI) showed the strongest and most consistent associations, with weeks of stronger, more assertive concern language associated with fewer steps/day and lower MET-min medium."

Related Claims¶

• Wearable outcomes declined significantly across the academic year, including a 5.2% reduction in RMSSD and roughly 680 fewer steps per day by Week 33 — related
• Dictionary-based SEANCE features yielded 21 nominally significant within-person associations with wearable outcomes, but none survived Bonferroni or FDR correction — a broader claim this one bears on
• Zero-shot classification of concern topics showed no consistent evidence of association with wearable outcomes, while affective dimensions showed more associations that did not survive correction — related
• Brief naturalistic concern text associates with within-person variation in wearable-derived sleep and physical activity outcomes across a full academic year, even at a median response length of three words — a broader claim this one bears on
