We also offer guidance for future research to develop more rigorous and holistic models of participants, deepening our understanding of XAI tool use

For instance, we identified a significant link between confidence and conscientiousness, consistent with prior work on personality/trust and visualization-assisted decision-making

We rigorously verified that the linear modeling conventional to this line of research doesn’t fully capture the complexity of user characteristics for XAI. In contrast, our holistic exploratory analysis involving non-linear modeling and qualitative data uncovered rich insights

Our paper won an Honorable Mention at #chi2025! We call for CHI researchers to fundamentally shift away from our status quo of undermining the epistemic authority of marginalized users @michaelann.bsky.social @taliabhatt.itch.io @nusealab.bsky.social programs.sigchi.org/chi/2025/pro...
