-
theoretical introduction of the concept of ‘algorithmic trust’ and embedding in relevant theory
-
288 unique survey responses from 46 different countries
-
multiple theoretically derived proxy measurements were assessed in an Exploratory Factor Analysis for a data-driven approach
-
study results:
-
‘algorithmic trust’ as an alternative to institutional trust and thus as an alternative paradigm of organising society
-
survey participants using DLT solutions were not driven by monetary rewards, but a shared ideology
-
confidence in security of DLT is correlated with IT prowess (relatedly, IT skills as major barrier for further adoption of DLT)
I wanted to share this with you as I think the results are kinda cool - if you got any questions I am happy to provide further input.
PS: I’m also not sure if this is the best place to post this, or if there is even some interest for less tangible studies like this. If so, however, happy reading!
