Figure 1.
The diagram shows the relationships between consistency versus inconsistency with audit industry norms and the use of drones versus human staff as antecedent factors influencing foreseeability and negligence assessments, where consistency with audit industry norms has a negative effect on foreseeability labelled H 1, use of drones has a negative effect on foreseeability labelled H 2, consistency with audit industry norms also has a direct negative effect on negligence assessments labelled H 3, foreseeability has a direct positive effect on negligence assessments, and use of drones additionally has a direct positive effect on negligence assessments, forming both direct and indirect pathways to the final outcome of negligence assessments.Conceptual model for the effect of the use of drones (vs human staff) and audit industry norms (consistent vs inconsistent) on jurors’ negligence assessments
