Reaction time as a predictor of trust: empirical evidence

Automation Trust is created when human operator interacts with machines. It is more obvious when machines work in automation more. Operators interact and at times machines fails to take decision on their own and require human intervention. Reaction Time (RT) acts a predictor of trust. This paper has tried to study the relationship between trust and reaction in two conditions i.e. 90% reliability condition and 25% reliability condition. The result reveals that, there is a high RT in former condition vis-à-vis latter condition.
