Overcoming Algorithm Aversion: People Will Use Imperfect Algorithms If They Can (Even Slightly) Modify Them

Catalog evidence and recorded chart appearances. Inclusion is not an endorsement.

Source snapshot imported 2026-10-20. This is not a live feed. Source and contributions.

Evidence and limits

Finding: Limited ability to modify algorithmic forecasts increased use and improved performance, apparently by restoring some control.

Impact: Watch bounded editability and contestability. Reject user control as evidence that the combined result is accurate or fair.

Boundary: Numeric forecasting with restricted edits is narrower than repository work. Next: which edits improve correction without creating untraceable overrides?

Flags: limited numeric edits; use is not correctness

Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement

What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
