Researchers/designers can understand and improve consumer trust through research and iterative design, but doing so effectively requires reliable measures. Although general trust-in-automation measures exist, a measure tailored to SDVs may provide a more accurate tool. This study presents work undertaken to create a domain specific trust measure for SDVs. Candidate items were given to 400 participants who rated their trust in an SDV portrayed in a narrative describing a ride in said vehicle. The Trust in Self-driving Vehicles Scale (TSDV) was created by analyzing participants’ responses using psychometric methods. Four factors were extracted from participants’ responses. Five items were retained for each factor to create the TSDV. Initial evidence of the validity of the instrument is presented through the TSDV’s ability to discriminate between a trustworthy and non-trustworthy vehicle, as portrayed in use scenarios.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

Traditionally, workers utilize written instructions, which can be challenging for those less language proficient. The integration of augmented reality (AR) head- mounted displays (HMDs) may enhance accuracy and efficiency (Matsumoto et al., 2019). However, AR HMDs may come with some drawbacks—after extended use, some users report discomfort and decreased performance (Vidovič & Gajšek, 2020). Despite promising improvements in warehouse operations, HMDs’ long-term impacts remain uncertain (Fang et al., 2019). Furthermore, the influence of language proficiency on HMD effectiveness needs exploration (Murauer et al, 2018). In order to fully comprehend the potential and limitations of HMDs, further research is necessary, targeting effective strategies for implementation and optimal AR user interface (UI) design. Objective: This study aims to evaluate an AR HMD system against traditional methods, focusing on its potential to aid non-native English-speaking warehouse workers and boost efficiency and accuracy in picking tasks. Our goal is to ascertain whether an AR aid system, utilizing universal and conformal design principles, can yield superior results in user performance, usability, and situational awareness compared to written instructions. Method: We identified the language-related challenges faced by foreign workers through interviews. Guided by these insights and Ganapathy’s mobile AR guidelines (Ganapathy et al., 2013), we designed an AR solution with universal symbols and intuitive interactions. The AR solution was prototyped using Microsoft HoloLens 2. To evaluate user experience with the proposed system, we conducted a within-subject experiment in a controlled laboratory environment, comparing this AR headset instruction with traditional written instructions. We employed the situation awareness rating technique (SART) questionnaire (Taylor et al., 2017) and system usability scale (SUS) questionnaire (Brooke et al., 1995), along with performance measures, to assess the effectiveness of the proposed system. Results: Our study with 17 participants indicated no significant difference in task completion time between traditional and AR headset instructions. However, AR significantly reduced package identification time ( M=6.89, SE=0.40 vs. M=10.15, SE=0.61). Moreover, people with the AR instructions had no errors while with the traditional written instructions had a total of 2 errors. The proposed AR aid also resulted in enhanced worker situation awareness by allowing them not to divide their attention across job instructions and the dynamic warehouse environment ( M=2.41, SE=0.24 vs. M=3.70, SE=0.35). The AR headset was perceived as easier to use ( M=4.35, SE=0.16 vs. M=3.35, SE=0.17) and better integrated various functions ( M=3.94, SE=0.16 vs. M=2.70, SE=0.19), despite some participants reported a ","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

Methods: We surveyed 42 residents of Nebraska to assess their trust in healthcare entities (i.e., the healthcare system, clinicians, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and local health departments) and their exposure to emerging health misinformation. Results: Most participants with decreased trust in healthcare entities also reported exposure to health misinformation in the last week. Specifically, 62.5% of participants who reported decreased trust in the healthcare system, 75% in the CDC, 83.3% in the FDA, and 62.5% in the local health department also reported exposure to at least misinformation. Conclusion: The findings suggest that trust is a crucial human factor and is critical in exposure to health misinformation. This highlights the need to prioritize effective communication strategies to build trust.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

As human coordination with autonomous agents turns to collaboration, humans may increasingly view agents as teammates. This transition will require agents to possess team skills and necessitate appropriate metrics for measuring team skills across human-agent and human-human teams. Thirty-eight teaming metrics were developed across five stages of teaming: preparation, execution, evaluation, adjustment, and team chemistry. Behaviors from 78 multiplayer gameplay videos were coded to establish which metrics could be measured via observable behaviors. An exploratory assessment demonstrated that the metrics captured teaming differences in team composition (human-human teams vs. human-agent teams) and three levels of team expertise. Results suggest that these team skill metrics could aid agent designers in anticipating the team dynamics of humans working with their agents.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

Before operations commence, aircraft manufacturers must obtain a government-issued type certificate proving that the new aircraft meets prescribed safety levels. Human factors is an important aspect of AAM certification as the proposed designs have significant changes to how pilots will interact with the aircraft. Published certification standards create an opportunity for human factors researchers to generate meaningful ties between the research being conducted in their laboratories and the work being conducted in the industry to prove the effectiveness and safety of AAM systems. To facilitate this, the current effort identified human factors language used in the certification documents that is related to information processing on the flight deck and relevant to AAM aircraft. This language was then mapped to constructs and associated measures studied in the literature. This mapping can serve as a guide for human factors researchers to ensure the relevancy of the research being conducted for this emerging domain.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

Twenty participants were recruited to a repeated-measures laboratory study to perform AR tasks with and without a shoulder-support exoskeleton. The AR tasks consisted of two standardized tasks (omni-directional pointing and cube placing task). Shoulder muscle activity, postures, discomfort, and task performance (i.e., completion time) were measured during the experimental sessions. The result showed that the shoulder muscle activity (trapezius and deltoid muscles) and subjective shoulder discomfort were significantly lower with the exoskeleton compared to the no-exoskeleton condition (p < 0.05). The shoulder posture data showed that the exoskeleton use increased the 50th percentile of the shoulder flexion (p = 0.02). In contrast, the exoskeleton had limited effects on task performance (p > 0.83). These results suggested that a shoulder-support exoskeleton may have potential to reduce shoulder strain during AR interactions.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...
