Note(s): Every cell displays the mean, standard deviation and number of observations in the corresponding condition
Our dependent variable, advice-taking is measured on an 11-point Likert scale; higher values on the variable represent more advice-taking from the human/algorithmic adviser (depending on the type of adviser condition)
Type of adviser is manipulated between subjects on two levels: human/algorithm. In the human adviser condition, the advice comes from a human adviser. In the algorithmic adviser condition, the advice comes from an artificial intelligence tool
Advice rationale is manipulated between subjects on two levels: absent/present. In the advice rationale present (absent) condition, the advice from the human/algorithmic adviser [depending on the type of adviser condition] is (not) accompanied by an advice rationale
Accountability is manipulated between subjects on two levels: low/high. In the accountability high (low) condition, participants are informed that they are (not) being held accountable for their reported forecast
