Abstract

Conflicts between digital voice assistant (DVA) testimonies and children's preexisting beliefs have significant implications for children's epistemic trust in DVAs. This study investigated the trust in informants (humans vs. DVAs) among 90 Chinese children (45 girls; aged 4–6 years) in situations under different levels of conflict via the conflicting sources paradigm. Children's trust in the testimonies of DVAs was lower in high-conflict situations than in non-conflict and low-conflict situations. Compared with younger children, older children were more likely to adhere to their preexisting beliefs and refuse to revise their beliefs under conflict situations. These findings suggest that epistemic trust and belief revision in children are influenced by conflict situations.

4- 6岁儿童在冲突情境中对数字语音助手的认知信任

数字语音助手证词与儿童既存信念之间的冲突对儿童对数字语音助手的认知信任有重要影响。本研究调查了90名中国儿童(45名女孩；年龄4-6岁)在不同程度的冲突情境下，通过冲突来源范式。高冲突情境下儿童对dva证词的信任程度低于无冲突情境和低冲突情境。与年幼的孩子相比，年龄较大的孩子更有可能坚持他们已有的信念，并在冲突情况下拒绝修改他们的信念。这些研究结果表明，儿童的认知信任和信念修正受到冲突情境的影响。
