StudentLife: assessing mental health, academic performance and behavioral trends of college students using smartphones
Abstract
Much of the stress and strain of student life remains hidden. The StudentLife continuous sensing app assesses the day-to-day and week-by-week impact of workload on stress, sleep, activity, mood, sociability, mental well-being and academic performance of a single class of 48 students across a 10 week term at Dartmouth College using Android phones. Results from the StudentLife study show a number of significant correlations between the automatic objective sensor data from smartphones and mental health and educational outcomes of the student body. We also identify a Dartmouth term lifecycle in the data that shows students start the term with high positive affect and conversation levels, low stress, and healthy sleep and daily activity patterns. As the term progresses and the workload increases, stress appreciably rises while positive affect, sleep, conversation and activity drops off. The StudentLife dataset is publicly available on the web.

In the citing paper
“Lower Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) score was correlated with higher conversation frequency during the day (9 AM-6 PM: the time frame participants might be in classes) and the evening (6 PM-0 AM), longer conversation duration during the day, and longer sleep duration.”
In the citing paper
“Mobile phones have been used to monitor stress and mental health [4-10].”
In the citing paper
“Significant correlations are obtained between conversation duration and/or frequency computed from audio data and PHQ-9 depression scores, flourishing scale and perceived stress scale (PSS) [63].”

In the citing paper
“For instance, StudentLife [63] combined sensing and self-reports to assess the impact of student workload on stress, whereas Snapshot [160] tracked their mood and sleep.”

“Wang et al found a negative association (r=−0.362, P=.03) between the NBDC and self-reported depressive symptoms on the StudentLife data set, which contained mobile phone data from 48 students across a 10-week term at Dartmouth College [15].”

“Previous studies [15-18] have been performed on relatively small (approximately 100 participants) homogeneous (eg, university students) cohorts of participants over relatively short periods (8-10 weeks), which may limit their generalizability.”

“Besides, Bluetooth features used in these studies [15-18] have been limited to basic statistical features (eg, sum, mean, and standard deviation), which are unable to characterize some nonlinear aspects (such as complexity, regularity, and periodicity) of the Bluetooth data.”

In the citing paper
“Compared with previous Bluetooth-related studies [15-18], our study was performed on a larger (N=316) multicenter data set with a longer follow-up (median 4 months).”

In the citing paper
“Instrumenting smartphones and wearables to capture in situ, fine-grained, and moment-by-moment data sets with sensing apps [20-24] has made it possible to passively collect data sets in naturalistic settings.”
In the citing paper
“Inherent in these data sets are behavioral patterns: routines, rhythms, activities, and interactions that are useful in complementing traditional depression assessment methods, in studying the mental health of individuals, and in developing timely mental health interventions [14,22,25-28].”
In the citing paper
“We do not have any further data on why students go to sleep later but the two most common reasons discussed in the StudentLife study [96] are academic demands such as assignment due dates and exams and social events such as hanging out with friends and parties.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
