For commitment to the technology, communication richness, interdependence, and team focus were all uniquely related to higher commitment. For teaming perceptions, interdependence (higher), synchrony (lower), and team focus (higher) were uniquely related to teaming perceptions. Using linear regression, the current study also examined the unique relationships between the AAT facets and both teaming perceptions and commitment to the technology. Unexpectedly, there were no differences in the interdependence scale between the two narrative conditions. Results demonstrated that all of the scales were reliable, and all but one scale was reported as higher in the high-teaming narrative condition, as expected.

Following the narrative, participants responded to psychosocial scales aiming to assess teaming perceptions, commitment to the technology, and the 6 facets of AAT. Using a narrative approach, participants ( N = 300) viewed one of two descriptions created to characterize a high or low teaming technology. Prior research has postulated that 6 facets of autonomous agent teammate-likeness (AAT) are the key factors in shaping teaming perceptions of technology. The current study examined potential dimensions of human-machine teaming as they related to teammate perceptions.
