Mental Health Impacts and Transmission Pathways among Value Chain Participants in the Context of AI-Empowered International Trade
Qiurong Wang, Wensheng JiangAbstract
Objective
The intelligent transformation of international trade brings adaptive psychological pressure and emotional fluctuations to value chain participants, leading to unstable mental states and potential mental health risks. This study explores the psychological emotion changes of participants driven by artificial intelligence empowerment, aiming to clarify emotional transmission rules and relieve industry-specific psychological pressure to maintain sound mental health.
Subjects and Methods
This study selects enterprise practitioners and trade practitioners in global value chains as research subjects. It adopts questionnaire surveys and empirical model analysis to collect data on their psychological pressure, mental states and emotional changes amid AI industrial upgrading, and systematically analyzes the internal psychological transmission mechanism.
Results
AI empowerment exerts dual psychological effects on trade value chain participants. While bringing innovative development opportunities, it increases adaptive psychological pressure and negative emotions, disturbs stable mental states, and adversely affects the overall mental health and work engagement of industrial practitioners.
Conclusions
The psychological emotions of value chain participants form a systematic transmission path under AI empowerment. Targeted psychological intervention and vocational guidance can effectively reduce adaptive psychological pressure, stabilize individual mental states, protect practitioners’ mental health, and support the stable and high-quality development of intelligent international trade.
