MIBot - Motivational Interviewing for Smoking Cessation Dataset, based on MIBOT Version 6.3A

The dataset from the study "A Fully Generative Motivational Interviewing Counsellor Chatbot for Moving Smokers Towards the Decision to Quit". The dataset comprises annotated transcripts and surveys (including self-reported readiness to quit smoking) from 106 conversations between human smokers and MIBot v6.3A — a motivational interviewing (MI) chatbot built using OpenAI's GPT-4o.

Dataset Usage

Researchers and practitioners can use this dataset to:

1.  Analyze the language of MI-based counseling sessions,
2.  Evaluate the relationship between dialogue features and behavior change outcomes, and
3.  Train or benchmark new conversational agents on MI-style interactions. 

We provide both conversation transcripts, broken down by utterance, and pre and post-conversation survey data.
