Details
The author built ChatRel, a tool that takes a chat history between partners and maps it onto 7 well-established relationship psychology frameworks. These include Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love, Knapp's Stages of Relational Development, Attachment Theory, Gottman's 5:1 Positivity Ratio, and others. The tool provides interactive HTML reports that visualize these metrics over time, identify conflict events, and even generate 12-week relationship forecasts. Importantly, ChatRel is designed with privacy in mind, running entirely locally with no external API calls or data transmission. It supports importing chat data from Telegram, CSV, and WeChat. The author acknowledges some limitations, such as lack of external validation and simplified forecasting models, but positions ChatRel as a novel approach to relationship analysis using established psychological frameworks.
