Data Sheet 1_Trust rises, attention falls: divergent effects of exposure and education in

A study of 55 licensed drivers with no prior Level 2 automation experience, conducted by Hanna Chouchane. The dataset, last updated in April 2026, captures trust, mind-wandering, gaze behavior, and takeover reaction time during a 15-minute automated highway drive under different educational interventions.

Use Cases

• Modeling trust growth over time based on repeated measurements taken at four time points.
• Analyzing the relationship between trust and mind-wandering using self-reported and gaze-based metrics.
• Comparing takeover reaction times between groups receiving capability-focused versus limitation-focused education.
• Studying the effect of educational framing on monitoring behavior using human-machine interface gaze metrics.

Strengths

• Includes data from 55 participants, providing a basis for statistical analysis.
• Measures multiple variables: trust, self-reported mind-wandering, gaze behavior, and takeover reaction time.
• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed study methodology described in the source PDF.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is 6.7 MB, which is a small scale for complex modeling.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the accompanying paper.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for some analyses.
