Abstract:

Active and passive user is a way to understand how users can have different perspectives of the use of technologies in complex socio-technical systems. These different perspectives can influence how trust is formed and calibrated for individual users and teams of users. As a result, appropriate use, misuse, disuse, or abuse of technology may occur. This project pioneered the research in active passive user systems through a series of experimental studies. The goals of the project were to understand 1 pair-level factors that shape trust, 2 psychophysiological markers that predict trust, 3 user characteristics that relate to trust, and 4 the affective process of trust. This final report included four major experiments that addressed the four goals. In those four experiments, participants worked as two-person teams consisted of one active user and one passive user and multi-tasked using a modified version of MultiAttribute Task Battery MATB with a shared computer station.
