Designed by Harvard psychologist Alison Wood Brooks, ChatPlat allows researchers to design, administer, record, and analyze chats between real people online. Until now, researchers interested in studying human interaction have needed to simulate human interaction using pre-programmed responses or confederates—or they have needed to organize complicated face-to-face interactions between participants in contrived settings. With the launch of ChatPlat, researchers can customize chat platforms for their own research needs using ChatPlat’s simple, user-friendly interface. The chatplat researcher can choose how many study participants will interact in each chat group, whether chat participants can send emoticons, how long the chats will last, and many other customizable features. Importantly, ChatPlat chat windows are compatible with all online survey systems, such as Qualtrics and surveymonkey.
