Towards providing personalized care, digital mental-wellness apps today ask questions to learn about subjects. However, not all subjects using these will have mood problems; thus, they do need follow-up questions. In this study, we investigate an alternate mechanism handle such non-sensitive posts (i.e., those indicating problems) in college settings. To so, generate and use training data provided by a cohort of peer students so that responses are contextual, emotionally aware, empathetic while also being terminal (not asking questions). Using from real app used students, identify AI models trained with our peer-provided dataset desirable posts, state-of-the-art (Facebook’s) Empathetic Dataset yields many questions, hence giving perception intrusive. We believe mental wellness must assume any subject has problems. Perceptions intrusiveness questions) be factor design. can provide rich reliable datasets for apps, topic is yet explored.

Abstract The mental lexicon is a complex cognitive system representing information about the words/concepts that one knows. Over decades psychological experiments have shown conceptual associations across multiple, interactive levels can greatly influence word acquisition, storage, and processing. How semantic, phonological, syntactic, other types of be mapped within coherent mathematical framework to study how works? Here we review multilayer networks as promising quantitative interpretative for investigating lexicon. Cognitive map multiple at once, thus capturing different layers might co-exist This starts with gentle introduction structure formalism networks. We then discuss mechanisms phenomena could not observed in single-layer were only unveiled by combining lexicon: (i) multiplex viability highlights language kernels facilitative effects knowledge processing healthy clinical populations; (ii) community detection enables contextual meaning reconstruction depending on psycholinguistic features; (iii) layer analysis mediate latent interactions mediation, suppression, facilitation lexical access. By outlining novel perspectives where shed light representations, including next-generation brain/mind models, key limitations directions cutting-edge future research.

Past studies of sexual assault have found that passive voice descriptions rape elicit an increased perception victim responsibility compared to active narratives (Bohner, 2001), contributing blaming and the perpetuation myths. Building on this, we investigate relationship between passive/active usage perception, but from perspective survivors as disclosed in their online narratives. We collect Reddit's r/sexualassault board group them into a group. detect differences two groups text using cognitive network science approach creates representations such nodes represent words/concepts while links syntactic semantic relationships them. systematically identify are significantly more central one other, thus identifying characteristic concepts semantically differentiate then contexts these applying frame analysis. find related psychological distress (e.g. PTSD, flashback) narratives, providing quantitative evidence link focus distress. also family members parent, brother) suggesting connection others' roles survivors' experiences. Our results reveal important language mental health has valuable implications for therapeutic interventions.

Psychological constructs are commonly quantified with closed-ended rating scales. However, recent advancements in natural language processing (NLP) enable the quantification of open-ended responses. Here we demonstrate that descriptive word responses analyzed using NLP show higher accuracy categorizing emotional states compared to traditional One group participants (N = 297) generated narratives related depression, anxiety, satisfaction, or harmony, summarized them five words, and rated Another 434) evaluated these (with words scales) from author's perspective. The were NLP, machine learning was used categorize into corresponding states. results showed a significantly number accurate categorizations based on (64%) than scales (44%), questioning notion more precise measuring language-based measures.
