We chose the emotionally laden setting of the speed date because that would make it easy to ask the user what the invisible counterpart would think of them, ethically, aesthetically, etc. Also because of limited interaction
Curved arrows indicate interaction effects
Develop state predicates about user Appraisal proces: Acquire personal meaning by comparing to personal goals, beliefs, concerns (through relevance / valence) Appraisal feeds into involvement / distance, and leads to (perhaps ambiguous) emotions Affective decision making process, which leads to a new situation
Expected satisfaction will be high if: High action tendency is generated (belief action facilitates desired goals) Level of positivity action matches biased involvement with the user Level of negativity action matches biased distance with the user Action with highest expected satisfaction is picked
Because of the selected response of the user, the agent looks mildy angry Give demo of application here, or at the end of the presentation
Men usually have more limited forms of emotional interaction Women are usually better equipped to do an emotional assessment of others Important, because the participants serve as a diagnostic measuring instrument of the emotional behavior of the agent
Non-Solid = Interaction (W.Oz) Dashed = Indirect (Robot) In the Wizard of Oz condition, where the human controlled the agent, significant effects of perceived Ethics and Affordances on Relevance and Valence found in previous research were reproduced. Similarity plays important role. In the W.Oz condition, Similarity barely played a role. It only had a small effect on involvement and distance. W.Oz condition is more like humans, except for similarity, which is not so strange (domain, other type of similarity)
