Summary: This study aimed to develop a theory-driven HIT acceptance model to examine factors affecting acceptance of HIT for disease self-management among patients with chronic diseases. The study found that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and attitude directly influenced acceptance, while perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, perceived hand function, perceived visual function, and perceived space adequacy indirectly influenced acceptance.

Summary: This paper investigates the relationship between perceived safety in human-robot interaction and factors such as comfort, predictability, sense of control, and trust. The study uses subjective and objective measures to examine this relationship and explores the effects of individual human characteristics. The findings suggest that these factors should be considered in the design of human-robot interactions and that physiological data may provide more accurate predictions of perceived safety than subjective ratings.

Summary: This study examines the factors driving consumers to use AI-powered chatbots and finds that the anthropomorphism of chatbots positively predicts social presence and imagery processing. Social presence and imagery processing, in turn, positively predict the users' intention to continue using AI chatbots.

Summary: The presence of an instructor in video lectures is more engaging for students, with the right side of the screen being the preferred position. Students in the middle position paid more attention to the instructor and less to the learning content, highlighting the importance of instructor positioning in designing effective video lectures.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of vehicle kinematic information and external Human Machine Interface (eHMI) designs on pedestrian crossing decisions. The results show that using flashing headlights as a yielding message can lead pedestrians to cross the road earlier during vehicle deceleration. However, the visibility of a novel slow pulsing light band only has a slight effect on crossing initiation time, and message familiarity also plays a role in pedestrian decisions.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the causal relationships among safety climate dimensions, safety performance dimensions, and occupational accidents for nurses working in hospitals. The results showed that safety participation had the highest influence on occupational accidents, followed by safety compliance. The attitude of supervisors towards safety and safety training had the highest effects on both nurses' safety performance and occupational accidents.

Summary: This review investigates the relationship between agent transparency, Situation Awareness, mental workload, and operator performance in safety critical domains. The advancement of highly sophisticated automation poses a challenge for effective human oversight, and automation transparency is a design principle that could support humans by making the automation's inner workings observable. However, experimental support for this has not been systematically documented to date.

Summary: The experiment found that in a virtual environment, the combination of visual and haptic feedback can enhance presence, with haptic feedback potentially leading to a stronger sense of presence than visual feedback alone. Additionally, haptic feedback is also more effective in helping participants discern the action itself.

Summary: This study applies a multilevel model approach to test the predictive effect of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) plus moral norm, past behaviour and crash history to account for intentions to avoid traffic violations within the context of commuting to or from work. The study also extends the theory by adding psychological stressors of perceived stress and work-family conflict. The results show that individual factors such as injunctive norm, self-efficacy, and cognitive attitude are independent predictors of intentions, while gender, commuting hours and work-family conflict have direct influences on intentions. The mediation model provides substantial support, indicating that stressors indirectly influence intentions through effects on the social cognitive components.
