Self-Referential Grounding [SRG]

Term code: AUG-0076 · Discipline: MT (MT) · Period: 3 · Language: en

Description

The extent to which a user anchors decisions during AI interaction in their own explicit value system, using personal criteria as the reference point when appraising or accepting AI output. A graded reliance on internally held standards.

Operational definition

STATE. Rated from think-aloud or annotated decisions: the share of AI-output acceptance/rejection decisions the user justifies by reference to stated personal values or criteria, versus deferring without such reference. The construct is the degree of value-anchored appraisal.

Measurement schema

Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Rater coding of decision rationales (think-aloud or written) for explicit value-criterion references; could be reported as proportion of value-anchored decisions; inter-rater agreement would be assessed via Cohen's kappa on the rationale-type code.
