Novice Reliance Calibration in AI-Assisted Decision Making: The Role of Explanations and Self-Assessment
Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are widely used to support decision making in tasks and domains where no immediate performance feedback is available. In these settings, users cannot learn to adjust their reliance behavior over time through trial and error. However, little is known about how novice users calibrate reliance on AI when external feedback is unavailable, or whether AI explanations can support calibration in its absence. We introduce reliance calibration as an organizing construct for studying how novice users dynamically adjust reliance behavior, and examine how AI explanations and meta-cognitive self-assessment shape it. Through a between-subjects study with 110 participan...
