13. An Analysis of the Effect of Risk Perception and Self-Confidence on Human Reliance on Visual Aids
SessionPoster Session 1
DescriptionHuman interaction with automation, ranging from simple decision aids to fully autonomous systems, is becoming increasingly common. However, if humans exhibit inappropriate reliance, the consequences can range from failure in completing a task to personal injury, or worse. Seminal results have shown that human reliance decisions are strongly influenced by their self-confidence (SC) and trust in the automation. However, despite researchers showing that risk perception (RP) can influence reliance decisions, models of how human risk perception relates to reliance behavior are lacking. The authors hypothesize that reliance behavior may be a function of the relative 'magnitude' of a user's risk perception to their self-confidence. To study RP independently of how users’ trust affects reliance, the authors designed an experiment involving reliance on a simple visual aid and measured users’ SC and RP over repeated trials in an obstacle avoidance task. Through statistical analysis, the hypothesis was shown to be true.
