Abstract
En 中文
• Trust in AI chatbots depends on inferred moral agency and moral emotions. • Warmth or moral judgment alone had weak effects; cue fit drove stronger inferences. • Style and judgment crossover shaped perceived moral emotions more than agency. • Outcome severity shifted which cues users treated as most informative.
