Motivating factors towards willingness to contribute in collaborative tasks: A crisis cooperation perspective

The interaction among various stakeholder organizations in modern crisis response is very similar to negotiation where each organization has its own goal in addition to a common goal. Decision makers in stakeholder organizations most often have to settle for win-win situations to attain higher joint benefit. In such cases willingness to contribute in joint tasks becomes a prerequisite. In our present study performed with 111 crisis management professionals from various stakeholder organizations in decision making roles, we study familiarity and expectation to future cooperation as constructs that can motivate decision makers to be more willing to contribute to joint tasks in crisis response

Comparisons of Human-Human Trust with Other Forms of Human-Technology Trust

We explore the applications of our conceptualization of human-robot trust and human-automation trust, and develop a theoretical model for wider human-human trust. The exploration of similarities and differences between trust in robots and general automation aid in the establishment of our foundation for this comprehensive model of interpersonal trust. Our proposed model is described and its implications for research, design, and applications in applied behavioral research are adumbrated

The Impact of Benevolence in Computational Trust

Trust is a construct of paramount importance in society. Accordingly, computational trust is evolving fast in order to allow trust in artificial societies. Despite the advances in this research field, most computational trust approaches evaluate trust by estimating the trustworthiness of the agents under evaluation (the trustees), without however distinguishing between the different dimensions of trustworthiness, such as ability and benevolence. In this paper, we propose different techniques to extract the ability of the trustee in the task at hand and to infer the benevolence of the trustee toward the truster when the trust judgment is made. Moreover, we propose to dynamically change the relative importance and impact of both ability and benevolence on the perceived trustworthiness of the trustee, taking into consideration the development of the relationship between the truster and the trustee and the disposition of the truster in the specific situation. Finally, we set an experimental scenario to evaluate our approach. The results obtained from these experiments show that the proposed techniques significantly improve the reliability of the estimation of the trustworthiness of agents. © 2013 Springer-Verlag
