Decision aid reliance: Modeling the effects of decision aid reliability and pressures to perform on reliance behavior

► We investigate the effects of decision aid reliability and pressure to perform on decision aid reliance ► We developed a general model of reliance on a decision aid. ► Pressure arousal theory predominantly explains decision aid reliance behavior. ► Reliance peaks appear across reliability levels as more pressure to perform is applied. ► Increasing pressure to perform can eventually lead to decreased reliance.
