Work packages for the HMC (Human Machine Communication) project
==================

Before data collection, several work packages were defined. For each work
package a preregistration was published. This file contains an overview of them.

## Pregistrations for different work packages

### WP01A

* Description: This WP examines how willingness to delegate professional and
  personal writing tasks to AI and disclose information to AI evolves over time,
  and how user characteristics and AI perceptions influence these behaviors.

  - Angelica Henestrosa
  - Maren Mayer

* Full paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chbah.2026.100325

Note that WP01 was split into WP01A and WP01B as its scope extended beyond a
single paper. See details regarding the split: https://osf.io/7zqgp

### WP02

* Description:

* Collaborators:
  - Teresa Luther

### WP03

* Description: This WP examines whether the perception of communicative AI as
  tool vs. social actor and the modality via which it is used (text, voice,
  both) are related to cognitive self-esteem.

* Collaborators:
  - Sonja Utz

* Preregistration link: https://aspredicted.org/4g3d-rqkt.pdf

### WP04

* Description: This WP examines how viewing AI in a formal (e.g., colleague)
  versus an informal role (e.g., partner) influences people’s self-efficacy in
  using AI for creative and problem-solving tasks over time. It also examines
  whether perceptions of enjoyment, intelligence, usefulness, and overall
  attitudes to AI contribute to explaining these changes in self-efficacy.

* Collaborators:
  - Büsra Sarigül

* Preregistration link: https://aspredicted.org/m6zv9.pdf

### WP05

* Description: This WP explores whether people increasingly see AI agents as
  social actors rather than tools over time. Furthermore, it examines how this
  change in role perception shapes perceived closeness, loneliness, perceived
  intelligence, and behavioral intentions to use AI.

* Collaborators:
  - Teresa Luther
  - Büsra Sarigül

* Preregistration link: https://aspredicted.org/kx5r-4pxq.pdf

### WP06

* Description: This WP explores the evolution of people's attitudes toward AI,
  subjective and objective knowledge about AI, and risk-opportunity perceptions
  regarding AI developments.

* Collaborators:
  - Angelica Henestrosa
  - Gerrit Anders

* Preregistration link: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/JAUD4

### WP07

* Description: This project examines how individual differences in personality
  and motivational and emotional factors are related to trust in and disclosure
  and delegation to AI in important decision-making contexts.

* Collaborators:
  - Mike Prentice

* Preregistration link:

### WP08

* Description: This WP examines how perception of AI as tool or social actor and
  interaction modality (text vs. voice) shape credibility perceptions through
  feelings of social presence, enjoyment, and perceived intelligence in the
  short and long term.

* Collaborators:
  - Stefanie Klein
  - Sonja Utz

* Preregistration link: https://osf.io/f3jyc?view_only=d8d009e575c64dc2bd453f969c3cb7b1

### WP09

* Description: This WP investigates how interactions with AI impact frequent
  users' attitudes and behavior towards other people.

* Collaborators:
  - Stefanie Klein

* Preregistration link: https://osf.io/h5fwe?view_only=8c5bc9e62074469ebdb3d72b38f4716d

### WP10

* Description: The work package examines why individuals currently do not use
  communicative AI, identifying the perceptions and concerns underlying their
  non-use and how they differ from active users.

* Collaborators:
  - Anna Christina Faller
  - Stefanie Klein
  - Sonja Utz

* Preregistration link: https://aspredicted.org/h7vf8s.pdf

### WP11

* Description: This work package examines how AI usage is associated with
  workplace productivity and whether cognitive self-esteem moderates these
  associations over time.

* Collaborators:
  - Nora Hampel
  - Sonja Utz
