A graded affective response of relief or reduced burden experienced by a user when handing an effortful task to an AI system, reported as a felt easing of workload at the point of delegation.
Rated as self-reported reduction in perceived burden at delegation points, capturing the user's relief when an effortful task is offloaded; the construct is the user's affect, not a capability of the AI.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): A brief perceived-workload/effort self-report (effort and frustration items), or a 1-7 relief item, completed immediately after offloading an effortful task, with the pre-minus-post perceived-load change as the outcome.
