Abstract
Understanding the impact of operator characteristics on human-automation interaction (HAI) is crucial as automation becomes pervasive. Despite extensive HAI research, the association between operator characteristics and their dependence on automation has not been thoroughly examined. This study, therefore, examines how individual characteristics affect operator dependence behaviors when interacting with automation. Through a controlled experiment involving 52 participants in a dual-task scenario, we find that operators’ decision-making style, risk propensity, and agreeableness are associated with their dependence behaviors when using automation. This research illuminates the role of personal characteristics in HAI, facilitating personalized team interactions, trust building, and enhanced performance in automated settings.
