Abstract
This paper investigates behavioral factors influencing attitudes toward affect recognition technology (ART), a type of emotional AI that extracts data from a person's non-conscious state. The study extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with insights from the mindsponge model and Bayesian multi-level analysis. A multinational survey of 1015 young adults reveals that familiarity with AI, perceived utility, and restrained social media behavior correlate with less apprehension toward ART. The findings highlight the role of culture and suggest implications for policymakers in regulating ART.
