A call for transdisciplinary trust research in the artificial intelligence era
Trust is a cornerstone and enabler of human civilization, determining the very nature of how people interact with each other. The swift integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into daily life poses grand societal challenges and necessitates a reevaluation of trust. Our bibliometric literature review calls for scientists and stakeholders to cross traditional academic boundaries to address emerging and evolving societal challenges arising from …
ChatGPT and academic work: New psychological phenomena
This study describes the impact of ChatGPT use on the nature of work from the perspective of academics and educators. We elucidate six phenomena: (1) the cognitive workload associated with conducting Turing tests to determine if ChatGPT has been involved in work productions; (2) the ethical void and alienation that result from recondite ChatGPT use; (3) insights into the motives of individuals who fail to disclose their ChatGPT use, while, at the…
Trust in Artificial Intelligence: Meta-Analytic Findings
Findings from this analysis will allow designers to build systems that elicit higher or lower levels of trust, as they require.
Assessing Patient Safety Culture in United States Hospitals
A positive patient safety culture plays a major role in reducing medical errors and increasing productivity among healthcare staff. Furthermore, understanding staff perceptions of patient safety culture and effective patient safety factors is a first step toward enhancing quality of care and patient safety. The objectives of this study were to assess patient safety culture in hospitals in the United States and to investigate the effects of hospit…
Advisory adumbrations about autonomy’s acceptability
Avoiding adverse autonomous agent actions
Few today would dispute that the age of autonomous machines is nearly upon us (cf., Kurzweil, 2005; Moravec, 1988), if it is not already. While it is doubtful that one can identify any fully autono
Who is in control? Managerial artificial general intelligence (Magi) for Football
Advanced technologies now threaten to surpass human intelligence. This watershed will radically impact the ways we currently play, view, and even understand sport. Artificial intelligence(AI) is progressing rapidly, and it remains a matter of time until the impact on sport is fully realized. Currently in sport, AI is a tool used to assist humans with performance monitoring, supporter and media engagement, and injury prediction, among other functi…
Likert or Not? How Using Likert Rather Than Biposlar Ratings Reveal Individual Difference Scores Using the Godspeed Scales
Imposing limits on autonomous systems
Our present era is witnessing the genesis of a sea-change in the way that advanced technologies operate. Amongst this burgeoning wave of untrammelled automation there is now beginning to arise a cadre of ever-more independent, autonomous systems. The degree of interaction between these latter systems with any form of human controller is becoming progressively more diminished and remote; and this perhaps necessarily so. Here, I advocate for human-…
Angry Drivers Take Risky Decisions: Evidence from Neurophysiological Assessment
The present study investigated the risk-taking behaviors of angry drivers, which were coincidentally measured via behavioral and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings. We manipulated a driving scenario that concerned a Go/No-Go decision at an intersection when the controlling traffic light was in its yellow phase. This protocol was based upon the underlying format of the Iowa gambling task. Variation in the anger level was induced through task…
A Meta-Analysis of Factors Influencing the Development of Trust in Automation: Implications for Understanding Autonomy in Future Systems
Hoax Springs Eternal: The Psychology of Cognitive Deception
Unlike sleights of hand, which fool the senses, sleights of mind challenge cognition. This book defines and explains cognitive deception and explores six prominent potential historical instances of it: the Cross of King Arthur, Drake's Plate of Brass, the Kensington Runestone, the Vinland Map, the Piltdown Man, and the Shroud of Turin. In spite of evidence contradicting their alleged origins, their stories continue to persuade many of their authe…
What's all the noise? Differentiating dimensions of acoustic stress and the limits to meta-analysis: Reply to Smith (2012)
Smith (2012) has provided pertinent observations on our recently published meta-analytic review (Szalma & Hancock, 2011) of the effects of acoustic noise on performance. His main points are as follows: (a) our review excluded some areas of research; (b) there were conceptual problems with our moderator analyses; and (c) limitations to meta-analysis, in general, constrain the conclusions that can be drawn from our findings. In this response, we ad…
A Meta-Analysis of Factors Affecting Trust in Human-Robot Interaction
Objective: We evaluate and quantify the effects of human, robot, and environmental factors on perceived trust in human-robot interaction (HRI). Background: To date, reviews of trust in HRI have been qualitative or descriptive. Our quantitative review provides a fundamental empirical foundation to advance both theory and practice. Method: Meta-analytic methods were applied to the available literature on trust and HRI. A total of 29 empirical studi…
Noise effects on human performance: A meta-analytic synthesis
Noise is a pervasive and influential source of stress. Whether through the acute effects of impulse noise or the chronic influence of prolonged exposure, the challenge of noise confronts many who must accomplish vital performance duties in its presence. Although noise has diffuse effects, which are shared in common with many other chronic forms of stress, it also exerts its own specific influences on various forms of cognitive and motor response.…
The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance
This book was the first handbook where the world's foremost 'experts on expertise' reviewed our scientific knowledge on expertise and expert performance and how experts may differ from non-experts in terms of their development, training, reasoning, knowledge, social support, and innate talent. Methods are described for the study of experts' knowledge and their performance of representative tasks from their domain of expertise. The development of …
Training for vigilance: The effect of knowledge of results format and dispositional optimism and pessimism on performance and stress
This study investigated the impact of knowledge of results (KR) format on the performance and stress associated with a vigilance task. Also examined was the effect of the interaction of KR‐format (Hit‐KR, False Alarm‐KR, Miss‐KR, and a composite of all three formats) with dispositional optimism and pessimism on performance outcome and reported stress state. Hypotheses based upon a theory of feedback intervention were tested. KR regarding correct …
Signal regularity and the mindlessness model of vigilance
Robertson, Manly, Andrade, Baddeley, and Yiend (1997) have proposed that detection failures in vigilance tasks result from a 'mindless' withdrawal of attentional effort from the monitoring assignment. To explore that view, they modified the traditional vigilance task, in which observers make button-press responses to signify the detection of rarely occurring critical signals, to one in which button-press responses acknowledge frequently occurring…

Influence of Approach Angle on Estimates of Time-To-Contact
Is the retinal periphery as capable of extracting time-to-contact information from a radially expanding optical flow field pattern as the retinal center? To address this proposition, two experiments were performed using both male and female participants viewing graphically generated scenes that depicted one road approaching directly towar them and a second road approaching from a 40 deg. angle to their left. A vehicle could approach the observer …
The Perception of Arrival Time for Different Oncoming Vehicles at an Intersection
We make an appeal to bring the theoretical tools of ecological psychology to focus on road-traffic accidents that result from making left turns. Following a review of previous arrival-time literature, we report an experiment that was conducted in a fixed-base driving simulator to determine the perceptual basis for judgments to turn left. We manipulated the arrival time (Ta) of an oncoming vehicle, the viewing distance to that vehicle, and the typ…
Body Temperature Influence on Time Perception
The chemical clock hypothesis implies a causal link between body temperature and the perception of duration. A strict interpretation of this construct requires a common slope value in an Arrhenius plot that relates time to temperature for every individual tested. Previous studies testing this proposition have confirmed a general relationship for data summed across multiple subjects. However, the same studies raise doubts as to whether this relati…
Human mental workload
Sustained attention under thermal stress
This article reviews the effects of the thermal environment on vigilance. A reinterpretation of early and contemporary studies contradicts the existing notion that vigilance is facilitated in ambient temperatures that exceed a comfortable level. Rather, performance is degraded as thermal homeostasis of the observer is disturbed. Significant breakdown in capability becomes manifest with measurable perturbation to deep body temperature. This assert…
