Student seeks AI response data for psychological distress research

A psychology and systems engineering student is seeking technical resources and advice for a research project analyzing how AI systems respond to prompts involving psychological distress. The project aims to compare general-purpose LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini with specialized mental-health chatbots such as Wysa and Replika. Key areas of investigation include how these systems handle various levels of distress, self-harm, and crisis situations, and whether their responses change based on prompt intensity, phrasing, and indirectness. AI

IMPACT Researchers are exploring the linguistic and safety responses of AI systems to sensitive user inputs, potentially informing future safety protocols.
