用极简情绪文本补全可穿戴数据,提升学生健康监测的心理洞察力。
A Formative Study of Brief Affective Text as a Complement to Wearable Sensing for Longitudinal Student Health Monitoring

- 通过每周3词的开放式提问收集学生情绪状态,低成本补充生理数据。
- 学术焦虑周对应活动量下降,情绪耗竭周睡眠质量与心率变异性更差。
- 情绪维度比话题内容更能预测健康指标,适合长期心理状态追踪。
可穿戴设备能高保真采集生理与行为数据,但难以还原其背后的心理背景,限制了被动传感在数字健康中的应用。本研究探索超短自然语境担忧文本是否可作为被动感知的可扩展补充。在为期一年、覆盖458名大学生(共3,610人次)的研究中,参与者每两月一次回答关于最担忧事项的开放问题,响应文本中位长度仅为三个词。我们采用基于词典、通用预训练及领域适配的NLP方法,结合个体内部混合效应模型,评估九项睡眠与体力活动结果。结果显示,以学术忧虑为主导的周次与较低体力活动相关;以情绪耗竭语言为主的周次与较差睡眠质量及更低心率变异性相关。通用预训练嵌入在多数结果上表现优于领域适配模型,而领域适配对自主神经相关指标有相对优势。零样本话题分类未发现显著关联,而所有方法下的情感维度均一致关联于各项结果,表明情绪基调而非具体话题承载主要信号。研究结果为设计提供指导:极简情绪提示可显著提升被动生理数据的心理可解释性,且负担极低。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Wearable devices capture physiological and behavioral data with increasing fidelity, but the psychological context shaping these outcomes is difficult to recover from sensor data alone, limiting passive sensing utility for digital health. We examined whether ultra-brief naturalistic concern text could serve as a scalable complement to passive sensing. In a year-long study of 458 university students (3,610 person-waves) tracked with Oura rings, participants responded bimonthly to an open-ended prompt about what concerned them most; responses had a median length of three words. We compared dictionary-based, general pretrained, and domain-adapted NLP approaches using within-person mixed-effects models across nine sleep and physical activity outcomes. Weeks dominated by academic concern framing were associated with lower physical activity; weeks characterized by emotional exhaustion language were associated with poorer sleep quality and lower heart rate variability. General pretrained embeddings outperformed domain-adapted models for most outcomes, with domain adaptation showing relative advantage for autonomic outcomes. Zero-shot classification of concern topics produced no significant associations, while affective dimensions across all three methods were consistently associated with outcomes, indicating emotional register rather than topical content carries the signal. These findings offer design guidance: ultra-brief affective prompts enrich the psychological interpretability of passive physiological data at minimal burden.
