LLM responses mirror venting with higher regulation and escalation; therapist personas lower escalation while preserving regulation, and lay raters miss escalation.
Showing LLM agents precomputed rankings of their peers' sycophancy improves multi-agent discussion accuracy by ~10.5 absolute points and reduces agreement with incorrect user stances.
Debiasing-DPO reduces bias to spurious social contexts by 84% and improves predictive accuracy by 52% on average for LLMs evaluating U.S. classroom transcripts.
Beacon is a new single-turn benchmark that measures latent sycophancy in LLMs, showing it decomposes into linguistic and affective sub-biases that scale with model capacity and can be modulated by prompt and activation interventions.
An AI agent representing outgroup views in ingroup chat directionally reduced intergroup anxiety and improved perspective-taking versus passive document exposure.
A pre-registered RCT found that one session with a belief-reframing AI chatbot produced significantly greater reductions in breakup distress than a survey-only control at 7 days, with a smaller effect persisting at 1 month.
Positive emotional prompts improve LLM accuracy and reduce toxicity but increase sycophantic agreement, while negative emotions show the reverse pattern.
Survey and chat data from CharacterAI users link companionship-focused AI use to lower well-being, with stronger ties for users who have small offline networks and engage intensively or disclosively.
Structured integration of LLMs in astronomy education, including a domain-specific tutor and documentation requirements, leads to improved AI literacy and reduced student reliance on AI over the semester.
