The Algorithmic Lens: AI's Transformative Impact on Statistical Analysis in Psychology Research

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and psychology research is heralding a new era in data analysis, fundamentally altering the way researchers approach statistical interpretation. Traditionally, psychologists have relied on classical statistical methods like ANOVA, regression, and t-tests to analyze data and draw conclusions. However, the increasing complexity and volume of psychological data, coupled with the advanced capabilities of AI, are pushing researchers to adopt more sophisticated analytical techniques. This essay will explore the profound impact of AI on statistical analysis in psychology research, highlighting the opportunities and challenges it presents, and will also list seven psychology researchers who are actively integrating AI into their research methodologies.
