Few literatures have studied the influence of both external and internal features on user satisfaction and the possible interactive effects between the two dimensions of chatbot anthropomorphic cues. Therefore, this paper studies the main effects of internal anthropomorphic constructs (cognitive empathy and emotional empathy) and external anthropomorphic constructs (virtual appearance) of ICSB on user satisfaction, as well as the two-way and three-way interaction effects among them.

Over the last decade, many reports have suggested that the proliferation of vaccine disinformation and misinformation on social media has aggravated the vaccine-hesitancy problem. Access to vaccine dis(mis)information on social media is deemed partly responsible for the resurfacing of vaccine-preventable diseases (e.g., measles). Although studies have examined social media dis(mis)information, including that related to vaccines, the newsfeed algorithm, which determines the content social media users see, has received scant attention in the literature. We examine how people's perceptions of the fairness, accountability, and transparency (FAT) of the Facebook newsfeed algorithm influence their intention to vaccinate their children. We find that people's perceptions of the Facebook newsfeed algorithm's FAT increase their negative attitudes toward vaccination (fairness and transparency). However, they decrease users' perceptions of antivaccination norms on Facebook (fairness, accountability, and transparency). Negative attitudes toward vaccination decrease the intention to vaccinate, as do perceptions of Facebook antivaccination norms. Our findings demonstrate that to decrease the effectiveness of vaccine dis(mis)information, it is critical to educate the public about how social media newsfeed algorithms make content-display decisions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72769,"journal":{"name":"Data and information management","volume":"7 3","pages":"Article 100042"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45298835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, it is still unknown how the design of the automated system can affect customers’ perception and adoption of this new technology. To mitigate these gaps, 24 participants with different levels of experience and understanding of financial investment were asked to use a Robo-advisor from a retail bank and perform the tasks. By conducting observations and retrospective post-test interviews, we find that participants do not fully perceive the social aspects supposed to be provided by Robo-advisors. The overarching problems are, among others, a lack of transparency and incomprehensible information. This results in distrust of the results generated by this system, which negatively affects customers’ adoption of the investment advice provided by the Robo-advisor. The potential of interactive data visualization is also detected. This work contributes to the understanding of customers regarding their perception and adoption based on their use of a functional Robo-advisor and proposes design takeaways for transparent and comprehensible automated advisory systems in financial service contexts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72769,"journal":{"name":"Data and information management","volume":"7 3","pages":"Article 100041"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48328584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also studied the terms and phrases used, as well as topic themes of the data policy texts. Using a data policy analysis model, our results revealed a series of gaps and inconsistencies in the policy statements. Connecting these gaps and inconsistencies with potential problems that could violate individual Open Data Principles (ODP) and the FAIR principles, we made recommendations to help resolve these missing areas and fix the inconsistencies, so that open government data can be managed and used to further the very core of open data practice. Further research that we plan to carry out includes confirmation and validation of our analysis model and our approach of linking the examination and assessment of open data policy with ODP and the FAIR principles.","PeriodicalId":72769,"journal":{"name":"Data and information management","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135200197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study employs a text network to summarize and synthesize major themes, data sources, and collaboration efforts from 123 previously published WWD articles collected from various online databases. The analysis shows that the majority of WWD studies were conducted between 2014 and 2020. Throughout the entire period, the primary focuses have been on WWD countermeasures, freeways, exit ramps, contributing factors, driver behavior, and detection systems. Over time, there has been a noticeable shift in the key themes, whereby earlier studies focused on freeways and driver behaviors, while the latter delved into exit ramps, limited access, and contributing factors among others. Most studies were from Florida, Texas, Illinois, and Alabama, with little collaboration of researchers across the States, except for Alabama and Illinois. Further, across the four States, there observed variations in the interests. Studies from Texas and Florida were centered on WWD countermeasures, detection systems, and the use of connected vehicles, while Illinois and Alabama investigated WWD crashes on exit ramps and interchanges. Despite the development and deployment of various countermeasures, there is still a need to develop crash modification factors to examine the effectiveness of the countermeasures. Furthermore, as technology continues to advance, connected and autonomous technology is expected to play a significant role in mitigating the WWD problem. The findings are essential for transportation agencies to evaluate the mitigation efforts and direct resources toward the right course of action.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72769,"journal":{"name":"Data and information management","volume":"8 1","pages":"Article 100044"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2543925123000189/pdfft?md5=9851afd2339ff43c9f5b67d1ceb73cab&pid=1-s2.0-S2543925123000189-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41925611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
