Abstract

AIM: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a mental disorder that requires early detection and treatment. However, some individuals with SAD avoid face-to-face evaluations, which leads to delayed detection. We aim to predict individuals with SAD based on their communication logs and social network data from a massively multiplayer online game (MMOG).
