Analyzing Textual Data in Behavioral Science with Natural Language Processing
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2025, Vol 10, Issue 04
Abstract
Natural Language Processing (NLP) has emerged as a breakthrough technique in behavioral science, enabling researchers to examine large-scale textual data to acquire insights into human cognition, emotions, and social interactions. Traditional behavioral research methods frequently rely on manual analysis, which is time-consuming and prone to biases. NLP improves the precision and scalability of behavioral research by automating this process through sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and deep learning techniques. Its applications extend to mental health monitoring, education, social media analysis, and healthcare, with studies demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting depression, analyzing public discourse, and improving clinical decision-making. However, challenges remain such as data bias, ethical concerns, privacy issues, and the interpretability of NLP models. Future research should focus on developing interpretable AI models, integrating multimodal data sources, and improving privacy-preserving techniques to ensure responsible and ethical application of NLP in behavioral science. Addressing these challenges will allow NLP to bridge the gap between qualitative and quantitative research, and revolutionize the way human behavior is studied and understood.
