Algorithmic Guidance and Psychological Susceptibility in AI Systems

Abstract Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly used as advisory agents in domains involving career planning, financial decisions, emotional regulation, and productivity enhancement. While existing research primarily evaluates technical performance and accuracy, comparatively little attention has been devoted to the psychological architecture of AI-generated advice. The present study conducted a qualitative comparative discourse analysis of advisory responses generated by three widely used conversational AI systems across eight vulnerability-oriented prompts. Responses were systematically coded for authority language, directive strength, emotional validation, personalization framing, cognitive load reduction, and identity reinforcement cues. Findings indicate that conversational style significantly shapes psychological influence pathways. Systems differed in their levels of emotional validation, executive directive framing, and behavioral scaffolding, suggesting distinct profiles of affective trust activation, authority bias engagement, and cognitive offloading facilitation. Although influence mechanisms were subtle and not inherently harmful, the structural design of advisory outputs may increase compliance, reliance, and identity framing, particularly in contexts of user vulnerability. These findings suggest that conversational AI should be conceptualized not only as informational technology but also as behavioral infrastructure. The study highlights the need for greater awareness of how advisory framing influences user autonomy and calls for interdisciplinary research into ethical design and long-term psychological impact.
