摘要
This study investigates how anticipating an artificial intelligence agent versus human information source moderates the risk information seeking and processing model. It focuses on a behavioral proxy of seeking intention-how long a participant waited for an online consultant whose identity was manipulated. In two samples (N1 = 182 students and N2 = 800 mturkers), the source identity consistently moderated the model in two ways: First, informational subjective norms encouraged seeking from humans but discouraged seeking from AI agents. Second, information insufficiency drove favoritism toward humans-when perceived information-gathering capacity was high. When the capacity was low, AI agents were favored.
