• Title: Improving Minority Stress Detection with Emotions
• Authors: Jonathan Ivey and Susan Gauch
• Abstract summary: We use the related task of minority stress detection to evaluate the ability of psychological stress models to understand the language of sexual and gender minorities. We find that traditional psychological stress models underperform on minority stress detection, and we propose using emotion-infused models to reduce that performance disparity.

• Abstract: Psychological stress detection is an important task for mental healthcare research, but there has been little prior work investigating the effectiveness of psychological stress models on minority individuals, who are especially vulnerable to poor mental health outcomes. In this work, we use the related task of minority stress detection to evaluate the ability of psychological stress models to understand the language of sexual and gender minorities. We find that traditional psychological stress models underperform on minority stress detection, and we propose using emotion-infused models to reduce that performance disparity. We further demonstrate that multi-task psychological stress models outperform the current state-of-the-art for minority stress detection without directly training on minority stress data. We provide explanatory analysis showing that minority communities have different distributions of emotions than the general population and that emotion-infused models improve the performance of stress models on underrepresented groups because of their effectiveness in low-data environments, and we propose that integrating emotions may benefit underrepresented groups in other mental health detection tasks.

• StressPrompt: Does Stress Impact Large Language Models and Human Performance Similarly? [7.573284169975824]
  This study explores whether Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit stress responses similar to those of humans. We developed a novel set of prompts, termed StressPrompt, designed to induce varying levels of stress. The findings suggest that LLMs, like humans, perform optimally under moderate stress, consistent with the Yerkes-Dodson law.

  We focus on twelve established large language models (LLMs) and subject them to a questionnaire commonly used in psychiatry. Our results show that six of the latest LLMs respond robustly to the anxiety questionnaire, producing comparable anxiety scores to humans. Anxiety-induction not only influences LLMs' scores on an anxiety questionnaire but also influences their behavior in a previously-established benchmark measuring biases such as racism and ageism.

  There has been an increase in research in developing machine learning models for mental health detection or prediction. In this work, we aim to perform a fairness analysis and implement a multi-task learning based bias mitigation method on anxiety prediction models. Our analysis showed that our anxiety prediction base model introduced some bias with regards to age, income, ethnicity, and whether a participant is born in the U.S. or not.

  Stress and emotion are both human affective states, and stress has proven to have important implications on the regulation and expression of emotion. In this work, we investigate the value of emotion recognition as an auxiliary task to improve stress detection. We propose M -- a transformer-based model architecture and a novel multi-task learning algorithm with speed-based dynamic sampling strategy.
