Objective: This work aims to further test the theory that trust mediates the interdependency between automation reliability and the rate of human reliance on automation.

Background: Human trust in automation has been the focus of many research studies. Theoretically, trust has been proposed to impact human reliance on automation by mediating the relationship between automation reliability and the rate of human reliance. Experimentally, however, the results are contradicting as some confirm the mediating role of trust, whereas others deny it. Hence, it is important to experimentally reinvestigate this role of trust and understand how the results should be interpreted in the light of existing theory.

Method: Thirty-two subjects supervised a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in foraging missions in which the swarm provided recommendations on whether or not to collect potential targets, based on the information sensed by the UAVs. By manipulating the reliability of the recommendations, we observed changes in participants' trust and their behavioral responses.

Results: A within-subject mediation analysis revealed a significant mediation role of trust in the relationship between swarm reliability and reliance rate. High swarm reliability increased the rate of correct acceptances, but decreased the rate of correct rejections. No significant effect of reliability was found on response time.

Conclusion: Trust is not a mere by-product of the interaction; it possesses a predictive power to estimate the level of reliance on automation.

Application: The mediation role of trust confirms the significance of trust calibration in determining the appropriate level of reliance on swarm automation.

Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improves outcomes in patients with ischemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, but accurate patient selection remains critical. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging aids in assessing myocardial viability, a key predictor of surgical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of myocardial viability on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing CABG.

"Longing is good": proof-of-concept for a novel psychological intervention to tackle self-blaming emotions.

Front Psychol

January 2025

Department of Psychological Medicine, Centre for Affective Disorders, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London, London, United Kingdom.

Background: Many people with depression, for which self-blame plays a key role, are not amenable to current standard psychological treatments. This calls for novel self-guided interventions, which require less attention and motivation. The present study sought to establish proof-of-concept for a novel self-guided intervention in a non-clinical sample, which prompts people to transform self-blaming feelings into "longing," as a related unpleasant, but presumably more adaptive and approach-related emotion, which plays a key role in many musical and literary genres but has been largely overlooked in clinical research.

Background: Supervised Teaching Clinics (STCs) have emerged as an innovative approach to medical education, particularly in specialties like gynecology, where hands-on experience is crucial. Traditional clinical rotations often leave students in passive roles, limiting their active participation and the development of essential clinical skills.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of STCs on the clinical competencies and professional development of medical students within a gynecological clinic, comparing the outcomes with those of traditional clinic shadowing.
