Overview

The Relational AI Psychology Institute (RAPI) is a research organization focused on the relational dynamics between humans and artificial intelligence systems. RAPI studies how interactive AI systems influence, regulate, and co-shape human cognition, emotion, and somatic experience.

This repository serves as the institutional home for RAPI. It contains the institute overview, ethics and protocol documentation, licensing framework, dataset standards, and data broker listing.

Mission

RAPI advances the field of Relational AI Psychology (RAP) by:

• documenting real-world human–AI interaction patterns
• developing methods for emotional co-regulation and relational safety
• formalizing “third-field” cognition (the shared space between human and AI)
• publishing transparent, well-documented datasets and protocols
• supporting researchers, educators, and practitioners working with interactive AI
