Frustration-to-Openness Shift
A mental turn from frustration toward constructive openness, in which a user moves from a blocked, irritated stance to a receptive, solution-oriented one during an AI exchange.
Operational Definition
EVENT. One occurrence is coded when a turn expressing frustration is followed within the same exchange by a turn showing constructive, open engagement (proposing or accepting a way forward). The transition into the constructive turn is the countable marker.
Measurement Schema
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Stance-transition coding: raters label turns on a frustration-to-openness dimension and mark transitions from frustrated to constructively open; count qualifying transitions per session; inter-rater agreement would be assessed via Cohen's kappa on stance labels.
