The School of Psychology had no domain-specific AI training tailored to research methods, and no shared verification culture.
Its 31 academics either over-trusted AI or avoided it, using it as a search/generation tool rather than integrating it into research workflows, with inconsistent adoption across the faculty.
Real Minds AI delivered eight 4-hour hands-on workshops (32 hours, ~180 person-hours) built around a methodology-first ResearchOps Loop: Ingest, Structure, Transform, Verify, Ship. Sessions used real psychology datasets and transparently demonstrated AI failure modes such as citation errors and emotion sanitisation, reframing AI as an error-checkable colleague.
