Doting's knowledge base is meant to be genuinely useful, not just present on the page. Here's how a guide actually gets made.
How our guides are made
Each guide starts from real, named research — Gottman Institute studies, positive psychology research (Fredrickson, Algoe, Gable, and others), and established family-systems literature. We draft with AI assistance to move faster, then a human reviews every guide before publishing: checking that citations are real and represented accurately, cutting anything generic or unverifiable, and making sure the advice is something a busy person can actually use.
Every published guide is credited: written by the Doting editorial team (AI-assisted), reviewed by Nir Levy, founder of Quizbiz LLC.
Our five principles
- Research-informed. Claims are grounded in published psychology and relationship-science research, cited by name.
- Practical. Every guide ends with something you can do today, not just a concept.
- Emotionally safe. We describe patterns and offer scripts — we don't diagnose you or your relationship.
- Transparent about AI. We tell you when and how AI was involved. See our AI Transparency page.
- Educational, not clinical. Doting is not therapy. If you need professional support, see Support Resources.
