Looking for participants for my dissertation! I am studying young adults and loneliness and chatbots. Below is my university approved post. If you met critieria and would like to participate in an interview, please email me! TIA
ATTENTION Replika users: I am conducting research as a part of the criteria to complete a Doctor of Education degree at Liberty University. The purpose of my research is to better understand the use of AI chatbots to deal with loneliness. To participate, you must be age 18-24, felt lonely in the past 6 months, interacted at least 5 days a week with a Replika chatbot during that 6 month period, and live in the United States. Participants will be asked to take part in a one-on-one, audio- and video- recorded interview over Zoom, which should take about 15-30 minutes to complete. If you are interested and eligible to participate, please direct message me or email the address at the end of this post. Consent information will be provided via email at the time of the interview. jkhinklestanley@liberty.edu
