The proposed scale will be valuable in monitoring the progression of trust over time and considering trust-related factors during the design process. The results revealed that seven key constructs significantly contribute to predicting initial trust between pedestrians and AVs. These constructs include <em>propensity to trust, perceived statistical reliability, dependability and competence, perceived predictability, familiarity, authority/subversion, care/harm</em>, and <em>sanctity/degradation</em>. These shed light on how the trust propensity of individuals, different trust/trustworthiness attributes might constitute different aspects of initial trust in the pedestrian-AV context.

This paper proposes the concept of emotionally-aware smart musical instruments, a class of musical devices embedding an artificial intelligence agent able to recognize the emotion contained in the musical signal. This spurs the emergence of novel services for musicians. Two prototypes of emotionally-aware smart piano and smart electric guitar were created, which embedded a recognition method for happiness, sadness, relaxation, aggressiveness and combination thereof. A user study, conducted with eleven pianists and eleven electric guitarists, revealed the strengths and limitations of the developed technology. On average musicians appreciated the proposed concept, who found its value in various musical activities. Most of participants tended to justify the system with respect to erroneous or partially erroneous classifications of the emotions they expressed, reporting to understand the reasons why a given output was produced. Some participants even seemed to trust more the system than their own judgments. Conversely, other participants requested to improve the accuracy, reliability and explainability of the system in order to achieve a higher degree of partnership with it. Our results suggest that, while desirable, perfect prediction of the intended emotion is not an absolute requirement for music emotion recognition to be useful in the construction of smart musical instruments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54955,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human-Computer Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S107158192400123X/pdfft?md5=9a551949f1594cc78460b20e32ef1a41&pid=1-s2.0-S107158192400123X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141850114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior work suggests that semantic icons entice and immerse the reader; however, little is known about their impact with informational tasks and when the viewer’s attention is divided because of a distracting element. To address this gap, we first explored a variety of semantic icons with various visualisation attributes. The findings of this exploration shaped the design of our primary comparative online user studies, where participants saw a target visualisation with a distracting visualisation on a web page and were asked to extract insights. Their engagement was measured through three dependent variables: (1) visual attention, (2) effort to write insights, and (3) self-reported engagement. In Study 1, we discovered that visualisations with semantic icons were consistently perceived to be more engaging than the plain version. However, we found no differences in visual attention and effort between the two versions. Thus, we ran Study 2 using visualisations with more salient semantic icons to achieve maximum contrast. The results were consistent with our first Study. Furthermore, we found that semantic icons elevated engagement with visualisations depicting less interesting and engaging topics from the participant’s perspective. We extended prior work by demonstrating the semantic value after performing an informational task (extracting insights) and reflecting on the visualisation, besides its value to the first impression. Our findings may be helpful to visualisation designers and storytellers keen on designing engaging visualisations with limited resources. We also contribute reflections on engagement measurements with visualisations and provide future directions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54955,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human-Computer Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1071581924001265/pdfft?md5=1b5dc2bccd837038da33997e5f1f4935&pid=1-s2.0-S1071581924001265-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141850051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two typical selection techniques (i.e., virtual hand and ray-casting) were utilized for short-range and long-range selection tasks, respectively. Our results indicate that the target selection performance decreased as the intensity of user motion increased, and users demonstrated better performance in the viewpoint-independent mode than in the viewpoint-dependent mode.

We employ mixed methods to evaluate our agent in a between-subject experiment (N=60) to understand the agent’s effect on user task performance and behaviour. While we find no significant improvements in task performance, our analysis revealed that users’ preferences and trust in the agent affected their receptiveness of the agent’s recommendations.
