Abstract
In this thesis we dive into the concept of a Re
ection Machine (RM) and the
functional preference of policemen interacting with it in a preventive frisking
context. An RM is a system which aims to improve the user's decision strategy
and enhance their re
ection process by questioning the user's decision.
Concretely in this thesis, we try to accomplish this by the use of re
ective
interventions which can be embodied by either questioning or notifying the
user about speci c aspects. We implemented a hard-coded version of this
conceptual RM in an application simulating a preventive frisking context
and used it in an experiment where we questioned the participants about
the experience with the RM afterwards. By analyzing this, we show that
interventions based on questioning the user's degree of certainty over their
decision is experienced as most relevant in general. Furthermore, we argue
that we are uncertain about the degree of in
uence of a conceptual decision
support system on the experience of an RM. Finally, we show that the users
generally like the interventions and argue that an RM may be a valuable
tool in the police domain.
