Research Area: Social Psychology, Human-AI Interaction, Generative AI Impact on Social Perception

Discipline: Social Science, Social Psychology, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)

Impressions of written messages are overly positive when recipients are unaware of potential Generative AI (GenAI) use, but negative when GenAI use is explicitly disclosed.

Methods: A pre-registered large-scale online experiment leveraged Prolific participants to assess social impressions in diverse communication contexts, with varying levels of sender disclosure regarding GenAI use.

Key Findings: The influence of known or uncertain GenAI use on recipients' social impressions of message senders across different personal and professional contexts.

Institution: Harbin Institute of Technology at Weihai

Research Area: LLM replication of psychological experiments, Social Science Research Methods, Artificial Intelligence, Psychology

Discipline: Psychological Science

Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 successfully replicate 76% of main effects and 47% of interaction effects from 154 psychological experiments, but exhibit overestimation and potential false positives, highlighting their complementary role rather than full replacement of human subjects.

Methods: Replication of 154 psychological experiments from top social science journals using GPT-4 as a simulated participant to measure main effects and interaction effects.

Key Findings: The ability of GPT-4 to replicate human responses in psychological experiments and the extent to which it produces similar results in terms of effect direction, significance, and confidence intervals.

The study found that prior belief consistency and source expertise significantly influenced perceived credibility of health-related social media posts, while evidence quality had minimal impact. Crowdsourcing platform choice also affected credibility evaluations of inaccurate posts.

Methods: Researchers created social media posts with manipulated source characteristics, claim accuracy, and evidence quality. Participants evaluated the credibility of these posts via crowdsourcing platforms after having their prior topic beliefs assessed.

Key Findings: The perceived credibility of health-related social media posts based on source characteristics, evidence quality, prior beliefs, and the platform used for data collection.
