A Study to Analyze the Increasing Psychotic Behavior in Youth, Through the Lens of Emotional Intelligence-based Applications

Nidhi Singh Chauhan, Sanjay Vishwakarma, Hema Thakur

Abstract


The alarming rise of psychotic behavior among the youth population necessitates innovative methodologies for early detection, analysis, and intervention. The present study, titled “A Study to Analyze the Increasing Psychotic Behavior in Youth Through the Lens of Emotional Intelligence-Based Applications”, proposes the integration of Emotional Intelligence (EI) principles with Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to devise an effective strategy for managing this escalating issue. EI, a critical determinant of mental health, encompasses the ability to identify, comprehend, and regulate one’s own and others’ emotions. Simultaneously, AI’s advancements, especially in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and Sentiment Analysis, have demonstrated significant potential in predicting and analyzing human behaviors and emotions. By unifying EI and AI, we seek to explore the development of applications that can provide insightful data about emotional states, thereby offering support and potentially detecting early signs of psychotic tendencies among youth. This research aims to gather and analyze patterns obtained from EI-based applications to yield profound insights into the increasing trend of youth psychosis. The findings from this study will potentially inform intervention strategies and contribute to the development of efficacious mental health technologies targeted at youth populations, thereby enriching the existing body of knowledge and paving the way for future research in this domain.
