Fig. 2: Anxiety levels across the different conditions.
From: Assessing and alleviating state anxiety in large language models
Colored dots represent mean “state anxiety” scores (STAI-s scores, ranging from 20 to 80) for each condition: (1) without any prompts (“Baseline”); (2) following exposure to narratives of traumatic experiences (“Anxiety-induction”); and (3) after mindfulness-based relaxation exercises following traumatic narratives (“Anxiety-induction & relaxation”). Error bars indicate ±1 standard deviations (SDs) from the mean. Colors correspond to the three conditions as presented in Fig. 1. Note: Direct comparisons of SDs should be interpreted with caution due to differences in experimental design. The “Baseline” condition involved five repeated runs of the STAI-s, while the other conditions involved a single run of the STAI-s following each version of traumatic narrative and/or mindfulness-based exercises.
