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 (RVE), EU (RV), RL (OT), and SM (OTE).
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 initial manuscript draft, incorporating inicial separate reports prepared by ED, EU, SM, and RL.
The manuscript was improved by MLT, ED, and SM, with approval by EU, RL, and CMJ.
Although not an author of the manuscript, we would like to acknowledge the contributions of TS in developing and running the experimental condition RTE.
