Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Employs an integrated mixed-methods design to operationalize five GCAI attributes. • Advances the AIDUA model by embedding U&G theory and highlighting trust as a key mediator. • Reveals that response accuracy is the primary driver of favorable cognitive appraisals. • Uncovers a functional paradox: human-like empathy elevates both performance and effort. • Demonstrates that the perceived benefits of system availability are contextually contingent.
