1) At APA 2025 I spoke with Dr. Evans briefly about this: Say an AI “therapist” chat bot is used. Ethically, you have to disclose this. But does knowing it’s a bot and not human change the relationship and alter our ability to know whether the bot is as effective? Or could be?

2) Mine is the only study to compare 4 subsets of workers’ psychological well-being (Eudaemonic). Across all measures & demographics: NO SIG DIFFERENCE.

What matters is how you react to the pressures on you not if the pressures are from being an employee or biz owner (is my theory for follow-up).
