Can #eyeTracking advance #HealthPsychology?

Dr. Athina Manoli shared an experiment suggesting that it can!

My smartphone has issues that prevented me from capturing key slides, but you can follow Dr. Manoli on ResearchGate to be alerted when this is published:

Methods Participants: 32 adults (22 female), aged 18-61 (M = 32.8, SD = 8.11) Stimuli • Greyscale, single-item health-threat & neutral images • Matched for visual complexity, brightness, contrast & size Manipulations • Pair duration: 500ms vs. 1500ms • Pair type: neutral-neutral vs. health-threat-neutral Self-report measures • Short Health Anxiety Inventory (SHAI): Health Anxiety & Negative Consequences • State -Trait Anxiety (STAI): State & Trait anxiety

How can underutilized tools advance #HealthPsychology?

For example, can #AI enhance theory-driven #interview coding?

Sumit Mehra et al's attempt found that when #LLM codes deviated from humans' they were usually MEANINGFUL or even ADDITIVE!

And most remaining AI codes were identical to humans'!
Benchmark • Two experienced researchers double coded the interviews, supervised by a third senior researcher • Codebook based on the Health Belief Model (12 top-level codes + 41 subcodes) • 1221 fragments were double-coded and discussed • Approx. 400 hours of work Prompt engineering: On the development set, we varied, e.g. • Chunk size (2000 to complete transcript) • Number of example chunks (1 to 5) • Number of coded text fragments per example chunk (0 to 3) • Prompt style (instruction, role, chain of thought, etc) • Language (Dutch versus English) Temperature was always kept at 0 Sidenote on reproducibility: • The final prompt was run 10 times • Less than 1% variation in F-value • So first run was selected for further analysis. LLM-coded fragments Number of interview fragments assigned a code by the LLM = 756 Al-coded fragments that were identical to human benchmark: 224 (30%) Al-coded fragments that differed from the human benchmark: 280 (37%) Al-coded fragments that were new compared to the human benchmark: 252(33%) Number of fragments within the test dataset of 10 interviews that were assigned a code by [the LLM?] Most deviations from human ratings were MEANINGFUL/INFORMATIVE! And most of the remaining AI ratings were identical to humans'! Number of LLM-coded fragments = 756 - Al-coded fragments that were identical to human benchmark: 224 (30%) - Meaningful alternatives to the human benchmark: 220 (29%） - Meaningful additions to the human benchmark: 168 (22%) Total identical or meaningful Al-coded fragments = 612 (81%)!
