Epistemic trust in digital voice assistants in conflict situations among 4- to 6-year-olds
Conflicts between digital voice assistant (DVA) testimonies and children's preexisting beliefs have significant implications for children's epistemic trust in DVAs. This study investigated the trust in informants (humans vs. DVAs) among 90 Chinese children (45 girls; aged 4–6 years) in situations under different levels of conflict via the conflicting sources paradigm. Children's trust in the testimonies of DVAs was lower in high-conflict situations than in non-conflict and low-conflict situations. Compared with younger children, older children were more likely to adhere to their preexisting beliefs and refuse to revise their beliefs under conflict situations. These findings suggest that epistemic trust and belief revision in children are influenced by conflict situations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
