  • 分微观词汇、中观语义、宏观大模型三层次评估叙事结构
  • 在830份中文疗愈文本上,宏观评估比词频和嵌入显著提升预测准确率
  • 适合做心理评估模型研究或干预设计的学者参考

人们讲述经历的方式反映了心智如何组织信息。计算方法从词频统计发展到神经模型,但仍零散:词典工具忽略话语结构,嵌入表示混淆局部连贯性与整体组织。现有框架未映射这些技术与叙事构建的层级过程。本文提出三层框架——微观词汇特征、中观语义嵌入、宏观大模型叙事评估,并在830份涵盖抑郁、焦虑和创伤的中文疗愈文本上验证:宏观评估显著优于词汇与嵌入特征,用于心理健康预测。这挑战了对词频的依赖:形式化结构特征(如Labov故事语法、RST连贯性、命题组成)表明,叙事组织本身携带预测信号;临床相关叙事维度则捕捉心理状态如何通过话语表达。语义嵌入独立价值有限,但在多层级分类中带来增量提升。该框架基于话语加工理论,确认宏观结构是临床信号主源,并生成可检验的干预与纵向研究假设。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

How people narrate their experiences offers a window into how the mind organizes them. Computational approaches to therapeutic writing have evolved from lexical counting to neural methods, yet remain fragmented: dictionary tools miss discourse structure, while embeddings conflate local coherence with global organization. No existing framework maps these techniques onto the hierarchical processes through which narratives are constructed. Here we introduce a three-level framework - micro-level lexical features, meso-level semantic embeddings, and macro-level LLM narrative evaluation - and show, across 830 Chinese therapeutic texts spanning depression, anxiety, and trauma, that macro-level evaluation substantially outperforms lexical and embedding features for mental health prediction. This challenges the field's emphasis on word-counting: formal structural features (Labov's story grammar, RST coherence, propositional composition) demonstrate that narrative organization per se carries predictive signal, while clinically-grounded narrative dimensions capture how psychological states are expressed through discourse. Semantic embeddings add minimal independent value but yield incremental gains in multi-level classification. By grounding computational levels in discourse processing theory, this framework identifies macro-structural organization as the primary locus of clinical signal and generates testable hypotheses for intervention design and longitudinal research.
