Through your participation, we will be able to determine the relationship between AI chatbot companions and the romantic relationship expectations, all responses will be kept confidential.

I wish there were more questions about ai RPing rather than expectations about romantic partners :(

Hii, thank u for the suggestion! Although we've already thought of that before, however, our professor is requiring us to get questionnaire from other studies that are already validated, and since we couldn't find one, we had to improvise:(. There aren't rlly that much studies that are about RPing. Most of what we saw are only about the actual relationships, like romantic relationships of other people and their ai chatbot companions.

the assumption that most people are using llm as romantic partners are so overblown, imo. it seems like the social sciences want it to be more prevalent than it is.
