ArXi:2605.11303v1 Announce Type: new We investigate the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for zero-shot prediction of Ryff Psychological Well-Being (PWB) scores from spontaneous speech. Using a few minutes of voice recordings from 111 participants in the PsyVoiD database, we evaluated 12 instruction-tuned LLMs, including Llama-3 (8B, 70B), Ministral, Mistral, Gemma-2-9B, Gemma-3 (1B, 4B, 27B), Phi-4, DeepSeek (Qwen and Llama), and QwQ-Preview. A domain-informed prompt was developed in collaboration with experts in clinical psychology and linguistics.
