Applying social cognition to feedback chatbots
Generative AI systems like chatbots are increasingly being introduced into learning, teaching and assessment scenarios at universities. While previous research suggests that users treat chatbots like humans, computer systems are still often perceived as less trustworthy, potentially impairing their usefulness in learning contexts. How are processes of social cognition applied to chatbots compared to humans? Our study focuses on the role of polite…
Is it Up to Me or Them? Insights from an Experimental Study on Psychological Reactance Towards Climate Change Mitigation Appeals
This study posits the hypothesis that the lack of an individual's engagement in mitigating climate change might be due to reactance, a motivational psychological state that occurs when one's perceived freedom to think or act is being threatened.In a 2 2 between-subjects experimental design (N = 623), we varied how mitigation recommendations for transportation were communicated (individual vs. policy appeal) in an online article.Additionally, we m…
The effects of fear appeals on reactance in climate change communication
Addressing the existential threat posed by climate change requires urgent actions, both on an individual level and on a policy level. In the present research, we applied an emotion-based persuasion appeal model to climate change mitigation to test the effect of climate mitigation appeals formulated with different levels of threat (high vs. low) and appealing to different types of climate change solutions (individual vs. policy) in eliciting psych…
