Discipline: Artificial Intelligence
Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate similar persuasive performance to humans overall, but their effectiveness varies widely based on contextual factors such as model type, conversation design, and domain.
Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis using Hedges' g to compute standardized effect sizes, with exploratory moderator analyses and publication bias checks (Egger's test, trim-and-fill analysis).
Key Findings: The persuasive effectiveness of LLMs compared to humans across various contexts and studies.

Discipline: Information Systems
The study explores how transparency and anthropomorphism influence applicants' perceptions of algorithmic fairness in recruiting, revealing justice dimensions that shape these perceptions.
Methods: An online application scenario with eight experimental groups analyzing fairness perceptions using a stimulus-organism-response framework and organizational justice theory.
Key Findings: Perceptions of algorithmic fairness based on justice dimensions (procedural, distributive, interpersonal, and informational justice) and the impact of transparency and anthropomorphism interventions.
