Blissful (A)Ignorance: People form overly positive impressions of others based on their written messages, despite wide-scale adoption of Generative AI

Authors: Jiaqi Zhua, Andras Molnar

Year: 2025

Published in: ArXiv

Institution: University of Michigan

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.

Published in: files.osf.io

Institution: Harvard University

Research Area: Experimental Psychology, Research Methods, Replication Studies

Discipline: Psychology, Social Science

Explicit demand cues do not alter participant behavior, judgments, or attitudes in online psychology experiments, despite participants adjusting their beliefs about study hypotheses.

Methods: Three preregistered experiments on Prolific tested the impact of explicit demand cues on participant behavior using a dictator game, a moral dilemma vignette, and a group attitude intervention. Participants were randomly assigned to receive information about the study hypothesis or no information.

Key Findings: Whether explicit demand cues influence behavior, judgments, or attitudes in online psychology studies.
