Empowerment Dashboard Design with Synthetic Data

The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is a social innovation startup that builds tools to help women and other vulnerable populations recognize coercion, build psychological resilience, and protect themselves in relationships, workplaces, and digital environments. We’ve developed a suite of educational tools based on years of psychological research, including: The Agency Calculator – A diagnostic tool that scores users on 20 dimensions of personal agency (e.g., boundaries, emotional regulation, critical thinking, autonomy). The BlindSpot Quiz – A self-awareness tool that reveals a user's potential manipulation blind spots or psychological vulnerabilities. The Player Identifier Chatbot – An AI-guided conversation tool that scores patterns in past or present relationships to detect early warning signs of coercive control. All tools are grounded in a custom-built trait scoring system, and the backend is currently being migrated to a graph database (Neo4j) to support interactive analysis and visualization. The Goal of This Project: Your job is to take our structured psychological framework and design a user-facing data dashboard using synthetic data . This dashboard should help users: Understand their strengths and areas for growth across the 20 agency traits See how their relationship history or quiz patterns affect their risk profile Get personalized suggestions for chatbot training modules or education content Track their learning journey or improvement over time This dashboard should be visually intuitive , empowering , and curious-user-friendly . Think of it as the bridge between psychological insight and actionable growth. Data Provided: You’ll be given structured synthetic datasets that mirror real patterns from FIA’s tools (no real user data, no PII). These datasets will include: Trait scores from the Agency Calculator (0–10 scale, 20 traits) Vulnerability cluster types from the BlindSpot Quiz Player-type pattern flags from relationship assessments Sample chatbot session logs (e.g., user selected “Egocentric Evan,” answered 6/10 confrontation questions) Suggested learning modules and growth paths (Optional) simulated session timestamps for visualizing progress over time

Policy Strategy for Combating AI-Assisted Coercive Control

The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is a research and public policy organization dedicated to advancing Social Discernment —the ability to detect manipulation early, respond effectively, and protect personal and collective agency in complex social environments. FIA is developing a comprehensive curriculum, scalable tools, and legal frameworks to address coercive control, emotional exploitation, and tech-enabled manipulation in relationships and digital life. Our work focuses on: 🧠 Social Discernment Curriculum : A new field of emotional intelligence that helps people recognize coercion, power games, and deceptive language before harm occurs. 📱 Player Identifier Chatbot : A predictive tool that analyzes early relationship patterns to help users recognize emotionally dangerous individuals. 🔍 AI Language Training App ( ChatBoy ) that teaches users to spot manipulative language across different contexts—dating, work, friendship, and family. 🧘‍♀️ Peer-to-Peer Wellness Platform : A non-therapeutic, group-based support system designed for women navigating emotional burnout and frustration in high-conflict or confusing relationships. 🔐 Cybersecurity for Women : A decentralized, peer-led training program that focuses on emotional safety, social engineering, and digital resilience—especially for those targeted by psychological abuse or coercion online. FIA’s work bridges public policy, digital safety, and emotional intelligence to help individuals and institutions detect invisible threats and respond with clarity, ethics, and courage. This project explores how the United States might adopt policies to criminalize coercive control in intimate and institutional relationships, following the lead of countries like the UK, Scotland, and Ireland. Specifically, it will examine how emerging technologies—particularly generative AI—are amplifying patterns of manipulation, isolation, and psychological domination, a phenomenon we refer to as AI-Assisted Psychological Exploitation (AIPEx) . The student will assess: How Britain successfully passed coercive control laws (strategy, framing, resistance) Why similar efforts have struggled in the U.S. (cultural, legal, and political factors) How new threats—especially tech-enabled coercion—may change the narrative or legislative appetite The outcome will be a policy roadmap for how coercive control could be reframed, regulated, or outlawed in the U.S., including legal frameworks, political feasibility, and public engagement strategies. 📘 Policy Problem: The U.S. lacks legal frameworks to address non-physical forms of abuse like gaslighting, digital surveillance, emotional manipulation, and isolation tactics—despite their well-documented psychological and economic impacts. The problem is compounded by AI tools that are being misused to amplify these tactics at scale (e.g., deepfakes, real-time surveillance, chatbot mirroring, voice cloning). This project addresses both a market failure (unregulated tools enabling harm) and a government failure (lack of legal protections and prevention strategies for psychological abuse). 🧩 Key Questions to Explore: What legislative, advocacy, and cultural strategies made coercive control laws pass in the UK and Ireland? What would a U.S.-specific policy roadmap need to look like—legally, politically, and culturally? Could technology-driven manipulation (AIPex) be a wedge issue for reform or regulation? What risks or resistance would this proposal face from political, tech, or legal sectors?

Listening Lab Expansion Strategy

The Listening Lab is a scalable, community-driven wellness initiative designed to provide nervous system regulation and emotional support through structured peer pods. It serves individuals experiencing intense emotions who may not want or be able to access therapy. The program avoids peer therapy pitfalls by assigning rotating coaching and creative roles instead of advice-giving, fostering empowerment, expression, and emotional resilience. FIA has already developed the core theory, initial simulation, and a draft design. We are seeking graduate students in public health to help advance this into a pilot-ready model by selecting focus areas aligned with their interests and competencies. Project Options for Students (Choose 1–2): 1. Program Design & Health Promotion Strategy Translate Listening Lab’s theory into a detailed health promotion program. Design participant-facing materials (e.g., facilitation guides, safety disclaimers, onboarding forms). Identify public health frameworks (e.g., trauma-informed care, social support theory) to structure the intervention. Deliverable: A full intervention logic model or promotional campaign plan. 2. Technology Feasibility & Peer Role Design Recommend digital tools to facilitate remote peer pods (e.g., Zoom, Discord, Circle). Help shape peer roles that promote participation and emotional safety. Design protocols to ensure participants don't engage in untrained therapy behaviors. Deliverable: A set of peer pod role cards and a technology comparison chart. 3. Evidence-Based Evaluation Strategy Conduct a literature review on community-based emotional regulation programs. Design an evaluation plan to measure safety, satisfaction, and potential health outcomes. Recommend pre/post metrics or participant surveys for low-barrier data collection. Deliverable: A 2-page evaluation plan + annotated bibliography. 4. Community Outreach & Equity Plan Identify target populations for the pilot (e.g., college students, single mothers, neurodivergent adults). Develop an inclusive outreach and recruitment plan, considering stigma and access barriers. Suggest community partners or local organizations for pilot testing. Deliverable: A strategic outreach brief and equity checklist.
