Abstract

With the growing prevalence of adolescent social media usage, the relationship between online interaction behaviors and psychological health has become a critical research topic. This paper proposes a LightGCN-based prediction model to assess anxiety risk from social network behaviors. The dataset combines structured features (interaction frequency, network centrality, and temporal activity) with unstructured textual data from online mental health questionnaires. By integrating cross-modal feature fusion, the model captures both the topological and semantic dimensions of user behaviors. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves superior prediction accuracy compared with traditional machine learning baselines, offering a new approach for early psychological screening and digital mental health intervention.
