Best use case

psychology-research is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Conduct psychological research analysis including mental health, cognitive science, and behavioral studies

Teams using psychology-research should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Psychology Research

## Purpose
Analyze psychological research data, design studies, and interpret behavioral/cognitive findings.

## Key Datasets
- **Mental Health Counseling** (Amod/mental_health_counseling_conversations): Therapeutic conversation corpus
- **GoEmotions** (google-research-datasets/go_emotions): 58K Reddit comments labeled with 27 emotion categories
- **DAIC-WOZ**: Depression detection from clinical interviews

## Research Areas
- **Clinical psychology**: Depression, anxiety, PTSD assessment scales and screening
- **Cognitive science**: Attention, memory, decision-making, perception
- **Social psychology**: Group behavior, attitudes, prejudice, persuasion
- **Developmental psychology**: Child development milestones, aging
- **Neuropsychology**: Brain-behavior relationships, cognitive deficits

## Protocol
1. **Study design** — Identify variables, choose design (experimental, correlational, longitudinal)
2. **Instrument selection** — Choose validated scales (PHQ-9, GAD-7, BDI-II, MMSE)
3. **Data collection planning** — Sample size calculation, power analysis
4. **Analysis** — Apply appropriate statistical methods (t-test, ANOVA, regression, SEM)
5. **Interpretation** — Effect sizes, clinical significance, limitations

## Rules
- Follow APA guidelines for reporting statistical results
- Report effect sizes alongside p-values
- Address potential confounds and biases
- Follow ethical guidelines for human subjects research (APA Ethics Code)
- Distinguish between statistical and clinical significance
