A user's internal orientation, formed from personal values, experience, and intuition, that they report drawing on to judge and correct AI output. The construct is the user's reliance on this internal reference, not any faculty of the AI system.
STATE. Self-reported reliance on internal judgment (values, experience, intuition) when evaluating AI output, rated on Likert items, optionally corroborated by coded instances where the user overrides AI output citing personal judgment. The construct is the rated strength of this internal corrective reliance.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Self-report on a short scale (5-point) measuring reliance on internal judgment to vet AI output, plus optional behavioral corroboration (rate of self-justified overrides); scale internal consistency via Cronbach's alpha.
