这项研究考察了界面中的社交线索和用户性别如何影响对与计算机交互的过程和结果的责任归因。采用2×2的受试者间实验室设计，391名参与者被随机分配到一台使用传统界面或设计为包含更高社交线索的界面的计算机上。这项研究的结果表明，那些与具有更多社交线索的界面互动的人更多地将责任归因于计算机。此外，女性更有可能将责任归因于电脑。结果不支持性别和界面设计之间的交互作用。讨论了对理论和实践的影响。
This study examined how social cues in an interface and user gender affected attributions of responsibility for the process and outcomes of interacting with a computer. Using a 2 × 2 between-subjects laboratory design, 391 participants were randomly assigned to work with a computer that utilized either a traditional interface or an interface designed to include higher social cues. The results of this study indicated that those who interacted with the interface with greater social cues made greater attributions of responsibility to the computer. In addition, women were more likely to ascribe responsibility to the computer. Results did not support an interaction between gender and interface design. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
