Author Contributions:
CCJ and MLT conceptualized the research questions and study design, building upon a project developed together with CMJ.
CCJ developed the artificial trust (AT) model conceptually. ED, EU, RL, and SM jointly implemented the AT model's core functionality, with individual contributions to specific experimental conditions: ED implemented RVE, EU implemented RV, RL implemented OTE, and SM implemented OVE.
The experiment execution and data collection were conducted by ED, EU, RL, and SM. Data analysis was performed by CCJ, ED, EU, RL, and SM. CCJ wrote the published version of the manuscript, incorporating initial separate reports prepared by ED, EU, SM, and RL.
The manuscript was improved by MLT, ED, and SM, and approved by EU, RL, and CMJ.
Although not an author of the manuscript, we would like to acknowledge the contributions of TS in implementing and running the experimental condition RTE.
