This study examined relationships between individual user characteristics and perceptions about technology -- experience, adoption, ability to learn, and trust. Based on responses from a diverse sample of 610 individuals with driving experience, it was found that perceived health and well-being were strongly associated with experience and perceptions around technology, including attitudes toward established and new vehicle technologies. A comparison of results from a correlation analysis showed the effects of perceived health and well-being to be stronger and more significant compared to demographic characteristics and medical conditions. The findings suggest a need for a better understanding of user characteristics, rather than relying on observable traits. |
