Preconceived beliefs, different reactions: alleviating user switching intentions in service failures through priming GenAI beliefs.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Generative artificial intelligence's (GenAI) fast progress has opened up new possibilities, but it has also increased the likelihood of service failure. This study investigates how belief priming affects users' intention to switch following a failure in GenAI services. Based on mental model theory and the associative proposition evaluation model, we conducted scenario surveys and event-related potential (ERP) studies as part of a mixed-method approach to explore the impact of different types of belief priming (AI emotions are real vs. AI emotions are fake) on users' switching intentions, and examined the mediating role of fault attribution and the moderating role of task type (emotional tasks vs. mechanical tasks). The questionnaire results show that priming with the belief "AI emotions are fake" can effectively reduce users' switching intentions after service failures, especially in emotional tasks. Error responsibility attribution plays a mediating role between belief priming and switching intentions. ERP results indicate that, in the event of service failure, the amplitude of the P2 component in the "AI emotions are real" belief priming group was significantly higher than that in the "AI emotions are fake" belief priming group, especially in emotional tasks. This study reveals the significant role of belief priming in shaping users' reactions to failures in GenAI services, providing empirical evidence for GenAI service providers to develop effective service remediation strategies.
