The literature suggests that simple expert (mathematical) models can improve the quality of decisions, but people are not always eager to accept and endorse such models. We ran three online experiments to test the receptiveness to advice from computerized expert models. Middle‐ and high‐school teachers (N = 435) evaluated student profiles that varied in several personal and task relevant factors. They were offered (Studies I and II), or could ask for (Study III), advice from either expert models or human advisors. Overall, teachers requested and followed advice of expert models less frequently than advice from humans. Task‐relevant factors (task difficulty) seem to be more salient than personal factors for teachers’ willingness to receive advice.

老师会考虑建议吗？论计算机专家模型的接受

文献表明，简单的专家（数学）模型可以提高决策质量，但是人们并不总是渴望接受和认可这种模型。我们进行了三个在线实验，以测试计算机专家模型对建议的接受程度。初中和高中教师（N = 435）评估了学生概况，这些概况在几个与个人和任务相关的因素中有所不同。它们是由专家模型或人类顾问提供的（研究I和II），或者可以要求（研究III）。总体而言，教师要求和遵循专家模型的建议的频率要低于人类的建议。与任务相关的因素（任务难度）似乎比个人因素更显着，因为教师愿意接受建议。
