Previous studies have considered appearance and motion separately as factors that evoke emotional state attribution. Then, if both the degree of human likeness in shape and the presence or absence of motion are considered simultaneously, is there a possibility of strong emotional state attribution even for objects that are not human-like in terms of shape? In this study, we experimentally investigated the influence of human likeness in shape and movements evoking social relations on emotional state attribution, including their interaction, using three types of objects (human figure, shimeji mushroom, and match) that were assumed to differ from humans in terms of shape. We conducted three experiments. In Experiment 1, although the human figure was rated as more human-like than the shimeji mushroom in terms of shape, emotions were attributed more strongly to the shimeji mushroom than to the human figure when accompanied by movements that evoked social relationships. In Experiment 2, a follow-up to Experiment 1 was conducted by eliminating the influence of three-dimensionality, and similar results to Experiment 1 were obtained. In Experiment 3, the influence of face parts was examined, and emotions were attributed more strongly when motion was given to an object without face parts. The results suggest that people may attribute emotions more strongly to faceless objects that resemble humans only to a certain extent in shape when they show movements that evoke social relations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 108383"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563224002516/pdfft?md5=12777273f8dfea56263835c09da4cda1&pid=1-s2.0-S0747563224002516-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142169571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the association between digital screen time, video game play, and facets of impulsivity (i.e., perseverance, premeditation, and urgency) in adults in established adulthood using a multi-method approach, including a genetically-informed co-twin design. By comparing within-twin pair differences in screen time and impulsivity, the co-twin approach controls for genetic and environmental confounding, providing a quasi-experimental design.

After controlling for adolescent impulsivity, phenotypic analysis found that digital screen time was positively associated with higher levels of urgency and lack of perseverance. Co-twin control analysis showed that the association between digital screen time and urgency persisted within twin pairs, suggesting that shared familial and genetic factors may not fully explain the relationship. Video game play did not show consistent associations with impulsivity.

Doctors from diverse departments and experience levels engaged with ChatGPT, which provided tailored responses. Over a month, data was collected using a form with a 1-to-5 rating scale. The results showed varying satisfaction levels across four criteria: clarity, response time, accuracy, and overall satisfaction. ChatGPT's response speed received high ratings (3.85/5.0), whereas clarity of information was moderately rated (3.43/5.0). A significant observation was the correlation between a doctor's experience and their satisfaction with ChatGPT. More experienced doctors (over 21 years) reported lower satisfaction (2.80–3.74/5.0) compared to their less experienced counterparts (3.43–4.20/5.0). At the medical field level, Internal Medicine showed higher satisfaction in evaluation criteria (ranging from 3.56 to 3.88), compared to other fields, while Psychiatry scored higher overall, with ratings from 3.63 to 5.00. The study also compared two departments: Urology and Internal Medicine, with the latter being more satisfied with the accuracy, and clarity of provided information, response time, and overall compared to Urology.

Using a longitudinal design, we uncovered a paradox: Initially, greater transparency correlates with enhanced fairness perception and reduced resistance. However, beyond a certain threshold, further transparency starts to backfire, leading to decreased fairness perception and amplified resistance. This paradox challenges the prevailing notion that more transparency always leads to positive outcomes. Moreover, we examined the role of human managers, showing that their empathetic support and caring can mitigate worker resistance when transparency fails to foster fairness. This highlights the power of human touch in the algorithm-driven workplace. Overall, these insights suggest a hybrid management model, wherein the cold efficiency of algorithmic managers is complemented by the warm empathy of human managers, offering a blueprint for more productive and harmonious human-machine interactions in the gig economy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 108403"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141979757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
