Cognitive bias and decision aid use under stressful conditions

Phillips-Wren, Gloria, Jefferson, Theresa, McKniff, Sueanne·2019·Journal of Decision Systems

Abstract

Stressful environments encapsulate factors such as time pressure and information overload that act as inhibitors to intention to use decision aids. In this study, we investigate a stressful environment in a hospital and explore factors that are positively and negatively associated with the intention to use a decision aid. We then develop a theoretical model based on the literature and employ survey data from healthcare experts together with structural equation modelling to investigate the model. In addition to the expected factors from the Technology Acceptance Model, we uncover three additional constructs: information quality, perceived risk, and environment. Our analysis suggests that the perceived personal risk to the decision maker is positively related to attitude toward the decision aid, and that environment is an inhibitor and negatively related. Information quality was not significantly related in our analysis. We also uncover overconfidence bias as an inhibitor to intention to use decision aids.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
