• Trust
• User interfaces
• Situation awareness
• Decision-making

User interfaces that display dynamic information have the ability to influence decision makers in networked settings where many individuals collaborate. To understand how varying levels of information support affects behavior (cooperation vs. defection) in a social dilemma, a user interface (UI) was developed and an online experiment (N=901) was conducted based on the iterated Diner's Dilemma, a version of the n-player Prisoner's Dilemma.
There were 3 main findings: (1) as more UI support was given, participants became more likely to retaliate against defection than they were to initiate defection; (2) participant situation awareness (SA) increased as more UI support was given but decreased in the presence of forgiving co-actors; and (3) the need for UI support to make good decisions was diminished as co-actors became more likely to exploit. These results can inform the design of information support tools for collaborative settings.
