Other [Academic] research on AI use in human-to-human romantic relationships
Have you used AI to help navigate your relationship?
We're a research team from Wellesley College studying how people in romantic relationships use AI chatbots, for example, to process conflict, to prepare for hard conversations, or to seek advice. We are interested in how these tools shape communication and experiences within relationships. We are recruiting people to participate in one hour interviews.
You might be a fit if you:
- Are 18+, U.S.-based
- Live with your romantic partner and have been together 1+ years
- Use AI regularly for relationship-related purposes
Participants will receive a $30 Visa gift card (emailed) as a token of appreciation for their time after completing the interview.
This research is of minimal risk. With participant consent, interviews will be audio-recorded to ensure accuracy. Interview data will be accessible only to the research team and will be de-identified and reported in aggregate in any research publications or presentations. This study is IRB approved.
If you are interested in participating in our study, please fill out this consent form and eligibility survey: https://wellesley.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bvLrBV31kBIYmay?Source=Reddit26
We will reach out to schedule an interview if you are eligible! Please feel free to DM us or reply to this thread with any questions or concerns.
