Résumé

Repeated interactions with automated systems are known to affect how agents experience their own actions and choices. The present study explores the possibility of partially restoring sense of agency in operators interacting with automated systems by providing additional information about the system's decision, i.e. its confidence. To do so, we implemented an obstacle avoidance task with different levels of automation and explicability. Levels of automation were varied by implementing conditions in which the participant was free or not free to choose which direction to take, whereas levels of explicability were varied by providing or not providing the participant with the system's confidence in the direction to take. We first assessed how automation and explicability interacted with participants' sense of agency, and then tested whether increased self-agency was systematically associated with greater confidence in the decision and improved system acceptability. The results showed an overall positive effect of system assistance. Providing additional information about the system's decision (explicability effect) and reducing the cognitive load associated with the decision itself (automation effect) was associated with stronger sense of agency, greater confidence in the decision, and better performance. In addition to the positive effects of system assistance, acceptability scores revealed that participants perceived “explicable” systems more favorably. These results highlight the potential value of studying self-agency in human-machine interaction as a guideline for making automation technologies more acceptable and, ultimately, improving the usefulness of these technologies.
