Detecting Self-Esteem Level and Depressive Indication Due to Different Parenting Style Using Supervised Learning Techniques

Uprising a child is a psychological construct of parents, which is a combination of factors that evolves over time with the growth and development of the child. Parenting techniques can approach depressive symptoms in children’s mind, which also influences their self-confidence level. The main objective of this research is to use supervised learning models to detect different parenting styles, depression indications of adolescents due to parenting, and the level of their self-esteem. Due to the absence of publicly available data, we created our own dataset of about 500 survey responses. Additionally, eleven psychological and nine linguistic attributes of Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count(LIWC) have been utilized to identify depression indications. Among all the supervised models, the Logistic Regression( LR), Gradient Boost Classifier(GBC), and Bi-Directional LSTM(Bi-LSTM) provide better results than other models. This research can improve parents’ understanding of their child’s psychology and encourage deeper conversations on practical life.
