Language Shapes Mental Health Evaluations in Large Language Models

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2603.06910v1 Announce Type: new This study investigates whether large language models (LLMs) exhibit cross-linguistic differences in mental health evaluations. Focusing on Chinese and English, we examine two widely used models, GPT-4o and Qwen3, to assess whether prompt language systematically shifts mental health-related evaluations and downstream decision outcomes. First, we assess models' evaluative orientation toward mental health stigma using multiple validated measurement scales capturing social stigma, self-stigma, and professional stigma.
