At a GlanceAI
A review framework for using large language models responsibly in psychological research and applications.
SummaryAI
Large language models can analyze and generate language at a scale that could expand psychology’s ability to study behavior, deliver interventions, and communicate research. This review synthesizes potential applications of these models in psychology alongside concerns about bias, validity, privacy, and misuse. It provides a timely foundation for researchers who want to use LLMs while treating their outputs as tools requiring careful evaluation rather than as authoritative psychological evidence.
Method SnapshotAI
A narrative review examines how large language models can support psychological research and practice while outlining their limitations and risks.
