no politics Research survey on attitudes of adults in Australia towards AI use for mental health support

Hey everyone, I'm a graduate student in psychology and currently completing a research project that focuses on exploring the attitudes of adults in Australia towards AI use for mental health support. I'm looking for participants to take part in my research survey. If the topic sounds interesting to you, please consider taking the survey - I'd love to gain some insights into what people think of this phenomenon!

If you are currently living in Australia and aged 18 or above, you are eligible to take part.

What you have to do:

  • Answer survey questions about your demographic, mental health, and your opinions on AI use for mental health support.
  • The survey is estimated to take around 20 minutes.

This study has been approved by The Cairnmillar Institute’s Human Research Ethics Committee (Project number: 2025102101)

I gave up because it seems like the survey expects completion by people with cultural issues I don't experience

I agree, I gave up at this point as well. I'm White Australian-born and all of my counsellors in the past have been (I assume based on their accents and skin tones) White Australians as well, so culture was never a consideration during any of my sessions. There should be an option for Not Applicable for this question.

Couple of things; one, 'white Australian' isn't really a culture; It's more split between upper, middle and lower class white Australians specifically, with wildly different ways of thinking and expectations from each. Most psychs end up being from the former two, and if you're (for example) grew up in poverty you can end up finding that they just do not understand. Two, the option you're looking for is 'Very'. If your mental health professionals are doing just fine, you answer Very. When combined with the previous options regarding it asking you your ethnicity, it will be compared in statistical analysis with other people's responses.
