Given the notable differences in human-automation trust between Chinese culture and other cultures, particularly Western cultures, the development of an effective measurement tool for human-automation trust within Chinese cultural context is indispensable. This study aimed to develop a Chinese version of the Human-Automation Trust Scale (C-HATS) with reasonable reliability and validity, based on several existing theories and scales related to human-automation trust. Following three phases of assessments, including exploratory factor analysis, item analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis, the scale demonstrated reasonable reliability and validity for both initial and post-task trust assessments. However, certain items of our C-HATS should be separately applied when assessing initial and post-task trust. Furthermore, it is crucial to acknowledge the structural differences between initial and post-task trust. Post-task trust consists of three factors: performance, process, and purpose-based trust, whereas initial trust consists of only two dimensions: cognition-based and affect-based trust. These distinctions should be considered when evaluating the subfacets of initial and post-task trust. Although further validation is required, the developed C-HATS has the potential to assess initial and post-task human-automation trust within Chinese cultural context across various automation systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104477"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143342189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP) was employed to assess area and shape's impacts on driving performance, alongside subjective ease-of-use evaluations. Results indicated that an increase in horizontal FOV angle significantly delay response times and reduce ease-of-use ratings. We also observed significant effects of area and shape on response time and ratings; specifically, participants responded faster in smaller display area conditions, which were also rated as the easiest to use. Accuracy, however, was largely unaffected by size and shape. Importantly, most manipulations did not interfere with driving performance, except for the area 500 condition, wherein landscape shape was associated with better lane-keeping performance.
