Catalog evidence and recorded chart appearances. Inclusion is not an endorsement.

Source snapshot imported 2026-10-20. This is not a live feed. Source and contributions.

Evidence and limits

Finding: Lay participants often weighted algorithmic advice more than human advice, but appreciation weakened when comparing advice with their own judgment and among experienced forecasters.

Impact: Strengthen expertise and comparison-frame controls. Reject algorithm aversion as a universal behavior.

Boundary: The tasks center on estimates and forecasts. Next: when does appreciation become overreliance in open-ended work?

Flags: short judgment tasks; novice-expert framing

Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement

What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
