Tone-Appropriateness Query
A brief meta-query that probes the emotional, social, or cultural fit of an output, separate from its factual content. It denotes an explicit request to appraise tone or appropriateness rather than correctness.
Operational Definition
One occurrence would be coded when a user turn explicitly requests an appraisal of an output's tone or its social or cultural appropriateness, as opposed to its factual accuracy. The appraisal-requesting turn is the unit.
Measurement Schema
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Rater coding distinguishing fit and appropriateness queries from content and accuracy queries on transcripts, by two coders, with Cohen's kappa; could be reported as the count of fit-queries per session.
