Purpose. The article examines the impact of artificial intelligence on modern research methodologies in psychology. It describes the potential applications of artificial intelligence algorithms for analyzing large datasets, modeling behavioral processes, and improving the accuracy of predictions in psychological studies.
Methods. To achieve the objective, the following methods were employed: theoretical analysis, comparison, induction, and deduction. These methods allowed for a deeper exploration of the research problem, systematization of scientific approaches, and formulation of well-grounded conclusions.
Results. The theoretical and methodological analysis of this issue highlights that artificial intelligence significantly transforms research methodologies in modern psychology, particularly through data automation and behavioral process modeling. The article analyzes the advantages of using artificial intelligence algorithms, which enhance predictive accuracy and uncover hidden patterns in large datasets. At the same time, attention is drawn to the necessity of addressing ethical considerations associated with the use of artificial intelligence in psychological research and adhering to the principles of academic integrity.
Conclusions. The integration of artificial intelligence substantially reshapes methodological approaches in psychological research, facilitating data processing automation and improving the accuracy of results. Particular attention is paid to the application of artificial intelligence in studying the psychological consequences of the war in Ukraine, including analyzing the psycho-emotional state of the population and predicting the long-term effects of traumatic experiences. It is noted that artificial intelligence algorithms enable quicker and more precise identification of key factors influencing resilience and adaptation to extreme conditions. Simultaneously, the importance of ethical standards and responsible use of artificial intelligence is emphasized, especially when dealing with sensitive information about war-affected individuals. The study’s conclusions underscore the necessity of integrating innovative technologies to address pressing issues in psychology amid contemporary challenges.
