Abstract

Adolescent exposure to violent content on social media has emerged as a critical issue due to its potential impact on mental health and cyberpsychological well-being. This study aims to classify multiple cyberpsychological impacts experienced by adolescents as a result of exposure to violent content on social media using a multi-label machine learning approach. A quantitative method was employed using self-reported data collected from 550 Indonesian adolescents aged 12–18 years through an online questionnaire. Psychological impacts were measured using adapted instruments from the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) and cyberpsychology scales, then transformed into multi-label targets. Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest algorithms were implemented using a One-vs-Rest strategy. Model performance was evaluated using Hamming Loss, precision, recall, and Macro F1-score. The results indicate that SVM outperformed Random Forest with a Hamming Loss of 23.16% and a Macro F1-score of 0.42, particularly in predicting dominant labels such as anxiety and decreased self-confidence. However, both models showed limited performance in predicting minority labels such as depression and academic decline due to data imbalance. These findings highlight the importance of handling imbalanced data in cyberpsychology-based machine learning research and demonstrate the potential of multi-label classification in representing the complexity of psychological impacts of digital violence on adolescents.
