Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Post (5 days after the baseline assessment; T1): Usability assessed using the 2-item Usability Metric for User Experience (UMUX-Lite; Lewis et al., 2013; DOI: 10.1145/2470654.2481287) at Post (T1). The primary outcome is the usability rating based on the SUS equivalence score at Post (T1; [https://measuringu.com/umux-lite/]). An SUS equivalence score of 68 is indicative of acceptable usability. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Usability: Assessed after five days (Post;T1) with the the System Usability Scale. Usage Intention: Assessed after five days (Post; T1) using the single-item question: "I would like to continue using the Elderbot. Rating scale: 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = somewhat disagree, 4 = somewhat agree, 5 = agree, 6 = strongly agree. Duration of use: Number of minutes used over 5 days (T1) Acceptance: Assessed at post (T1) using the Godspeed Questionnaire (24 items) subscales Anthropomorphism, Animacy, Likeability, Safety, and Intelligence. Perceived Social Support: Assessed at post (T1) with the Support subscale of the Quality of Relationships Index. Technology Skepticism: Assessed at post (T1) using the Skepticism subscale of the Technology Usage Inventory. User Trust: Assessed at post (T1) with three subscales of the Trusting Beliefs Scale: Benevolence, Integrity, and Competence. Loneliness: Assessed with the UCLA Loneliness Scale at both Baseline (T0) and Post (T1) (Outcome: change in loneliness from T0 to T1). Psychiatric Symptoms: Assessed using the 18-item Mini-Symptom Checklist for depressive, anxious, and somatic symptoms, measured at both T0 and T1 (Outcome: symptom change from T0 to T1). Free Association Test: spontaneous mental representations of two terms: “artificial intelligence” and “human-centered artificial intelligence” at baseline and post (T0 & T1; What do you associate with artificial intelligence?, What do you associate with human-centric artificial intelligence?) | — |
