As part of my MSc research, I’m exploring how people experiencing symptoms of OCD use AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, particularly in response to intrusive thoughts, doubts, anxiety and uncertainty. The research aims to better understand the relationship between AI chatbot use, reassurance-seeking and psychological distress.
If you are aged 18 or over, experience symptoms of OCD, and have used AI chatbots in relation to these experiences, I would really appreciate you considering taking part.
Participation involves completing an anonymous online survey. Further information about the study and consent is provided at the beginning of the survey. There is a prize draw for a £50 Amazon voucher for taking part.
