Is Seeing Believing and Hearing Trusting? Exploring the Role of Visual and Vocal Cues in Shaping User Trust in VR News Anchors.

Amid the global decline in news credibility, immersive journalism in virtual reality (VR) offers opportunities to enhance trust and engagement through presence and interactivity. As the communicators of news, virtual news anchors play a key role in shaping audience perceptions. However, the mechanisms through which virtual anchors in VR elicit audience trust remain underexplored. Guided by the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework, this study investigates how the visual style and voiceover of VR news avatars influence perceived realism, and how these perceptions subsequently shape trust and new…

Trust in AI Is a "Fluid Process": Building Trust of AI Through Clinicians' Needs in the BreastScreen Victoria Program-A Qualitative Study.

Research on trust in healthcare AI has grown significantly over the last five years, underscoring its vital role in AI adoption within healthcare services. While the multi-dimensional nature of trust in AI is well-documented, the literature lacks an integrative framework to fully understanding its dynamics. This study explores clinicians' perceptions of using AI in breast screening, focusing on the evolving nature of trust in AI within a complex clinical environment. Through thematic analysis of focus groups and interviews with 27 clinicians from the population-based BreastScreen program in Vi…

Assessing the Impact of Decentralization on COVID-19 Containment Measures, Public Trust in Government, and Trust in the Vaccine: A Multi-Country Study.

OBJECTIVES: Countries implemented COVID-19 containment measures based on their decentralization level, which influenced public trust in both the government and the vaccine. This study aimed to evaluate how decentralization influenced the effectiveness of COVID-19 containment measures, public trust in government, and trust in the vaccine across 18 countries. DESIGN: A cross-sectional design was employed, drawing on a multi-country dataset from an international survey conducted in 2022. Data were collected through stratified random sampling, using an online survey administered via country-speci…

COVID-1 … for participating; transparency, understanding, and consent; privacy, anonymity, and data use; and trust in research. Motivations to participate in SPHERE stemmed from an altruistic desire to support research directed toward the public good. Participants were satisfied with the consent process despite reporting some difficulties-recalling and understan …

Trust in Context: A Three-Factor Experimental Study.

Existing studies on trust are mainly based on rational choice theory or the relational logic of the "differential mode of association," while neglecting the contextuality of trust and the interaction of multiple factors. This study used a within-subjects situational experiment involving 252 participants, manipulating three variables: relationship type (kin, acquaintance, general other), entrusted matter (loans of 2000 yuan, 20,000 yuan, and 200,000 yuan), and trustee attributes (high ability and integrity vs. low ability and integrity). The Friedman test and Generalized Estimating Equations (G…

The Architect of Trust: Dr Tom Ferguson's Legacy.

UnlabelledThis article serves as a formal tribute to the legacy of Dr Tom Ferguson and his foundational 2007 white paper on the "e-patient." Despite its widespread influence, Dr Ferguson's original vision has often been internalized by the broader medical community without clear historical attribution, leading to a drift in the term's original meaning. This article restores the intellectual genealogy of the "e-patient" as defined by Dr Ferguson as "equipped, enabled, empowered, and engaged." We argue for the continued relevance of his "quiet giant" leadership. By formalizing Dr Ferguson's foun

Social closeness modulates brain dynamics during trust anticipation.

Anticipation of trust from someone with high social closeness is expected. However, if there is uncertainty in the interaction because a person is a stranger or because he has distrusted us on another occasion, we need to keep track of his behavior and intentions. Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) we wanted to find the brain regions related to trust anticipation from partners who differ in their level of social closeness. We designed an experiment in which 30 participants played an adapted trust game with three trustors: A computer, a stranger, and a real friend. We covertly m…

COVID-19 infection induces higher trust in strangers.

How does the COVID-19 pandemic affect interpersonal trust? Most evidence shows that natural disasters reinforce trust and cooperation, but the COVID-19 virus differs from other calamities, since it spreads through contact with people, potentially increasing suspicion and distrust, as, according to contemporaneous writers' accounts, seems to have been the case with the Black Death, the London plague, and the Spanish influenza. We investigate the link between interpersonal trust and individuals exposed to COVID-19, either vicariously through their community or networks or directly by becoming in…

Myofibroblasts: trust your heart and let fate decide.

Cardiac fibrosis is a substantial problem in managing multiple forms of heart disease. Fibrosis results from an unrestrained tissue repair process orchestrated predominantly by the myofibroblast. These are highly specialized cells characterized by their ability to secrete extracellular matrix (ECM) components and remodel tissue due to their contractile properties. This contractile activity of the myofibroblast is ascribed, in part, to the expression of smooth muscle α-actin (αSMA) and other tension-associated structural genes. Myofibroblasts are a newly generated cell type derived largely from

[Relationships of transactional leadership, trust, and organizational citizenship].

Under the health-care insurance system in Taiwan, hospital management has not only to challenge the impacts of the post-SARS era, but also h … s and staff nurses. An approach was adopted of exploring the impact of transactional leadership and trust on Organizational-Citizenship Behavior (OCB) between head nurse and staff nurses, with the aim of clarifying the present situation and proposing some suggestions for future modifications.

Impersonal trust and professional authority: exploring the dynamics.

AIM: The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between impersonal trust, governmentality and professional activity through an analysis of professional discourse. BACKGROUND: This study emerged from an earlier paper that described a four-dimensional model based on Luhmann's definition of trust as "reducing complexity and managing expectations". Linking trust with the Foucauldian notion of governmentality develops this further. Governmentality raises the question of how professional authority is constituted through the practice of nurses and other health and welfare professionals. M…

Dispersion and bias: can we trust geometric means?

Geometric means are frequently used to estimate the intensity of parasite infection within a population. In this article, Tony Fulford uses Schistosoma mansoni field data to illustrate that such estimates are biased and, more importantly, that the degree of bias can vary markedly with host age. Similar problems plague the interpretation of prevalence. The cause can be traced back to age-dependent differences in the dispersion of parasites among hosts.

Trust, talk and touch in Balkan folk healing.

Broadly based in long-term anthropological fieldwork in the Balkans (in Serbia, Macedonia and Bulgaria), this discussion of folk healing tec … ly to the bajalica, or conjurer who heals with words, it is shown how shared communicative modes of trust, talk and touch are essential to the ritual psychomancy by which the treatment 'works'. Also considered are the ritual roles of women in this patriarchal society and peasants' perceptions of folk pharmacology as being extraneous to the eventual cure …
