By setting a ball-tossing game in which a participant and two virtual agents were involved, we examined how ostracism experiences affect cognitive empathy and how embodiment induced by VR (Virtual Reality) influences behaviors that elicit emotional empathy. Thirty-two participants were divided into two groups by manipulating the experience of being ostracized in the preparatory task. In the main task, the participants played the game under two conditions: an equitable condition, in which the virtual agents tossed the ball evenly to the participant and the other agent, and an inequitable condition, in which one agent tossed the ball only to the participant. The data obtained in the experiment was analyzed from the viewpoint of helping behaviors to the agent who was ostracized and examined the relation of this behavior with the EQ (Empathy Quotient), an index to measure an individual's empathetic traits. As a result, the ostracized experience made the participants notice the ostracizing behaviors of the agent and fostered helping behavior toward the agent who was ostracized. In addition, the participants with a high EQ tended not to notice the ostracizing behavior in the situation without embodiment induced by VR, whereas they exhibited more helping behaviors when they experienced the task with the VR device. We consider that these findings contribute to the design of smoother interaction between humans and virtual agents.","PeriodicalId":109801,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123067954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The limit of resources in second language teaching and the challenges related to language practicing with native people, encourages us to search for alternative options for the second language learning. Robot-assisted language learning (RALL) provides one potential option. In this article, we focus on exploring the potentials of customized language robots for immigrants to support their professional development and adaptation to the local work contexts. We describe our qualitative and exploratory user study with 10 immigrants as participants, focusing on their user experience (UX) of the customized RALL solution for language learning at work settings. We collected data through 1) field observations of the authentic RALL sessions in a user pilot, and 2) user interviews in the end of the pilot. The research shows that customization of several aspects of RALL is needed to support immigrants? language learning at work. These include, e.g. the vocabulary and tasks, the level, the speed of language, and the timing of the RALL. The optimal customization can be achieved by co-designing the RALL within the multidisciplinary team including the workplace representatives, language trainer and programmer. The RALL provides a lot of potential for immigrants? language learning as it offers unique learning experiences and many possibilities to keep up the learner?s attention and motivation. However, there are also challenging aspects, which need further consideration.","PeriodicalId":109801,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127845643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve successful human-agent teamwork, it is critical to know the differences and similarities in people's attitudes towards human and agent teammates in virtual environments. It is unclear to what extent we can rely on the rich literature on interpersonal trust, i.e., trust between humans, while designing trustworthy agent teammates for human-agent teamwork and constructing hypotheses for human-agent trust research. This study empirically investigates the differences in the growth of human trust in and reliance on human and agent teammates during initial interactions. We developed a team coordination game, the Game of Trust, in which two players repeatedly cooperate to complete team tasks without prior assignment of subtasks. The effects of teammate type, i.e., human vs. agent, are evaluated by performing an extensive set of controlled experiments with participants recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk. We collect both teamwork performance data as well as surveys to gauge participants' trust in their teammates. The empirical results show that humans' trust attitudes towards human and agent teammates differ: trust in and reliance on teammate and team performance were slightly higher when playing with the agent teammate. Moreover, the level of trustworthiness of a teammate is more influential on human trust compared to teammate type. These findings enhance our understanding of changes in human trust concerning teammate type towards achieving successful virtual teamwork.","PeriodicalId":109801,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116859896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as multiple environmental and social factors can influence trust, it is important to develop more elaborate scenarios and methods to measure human-robot trust. A widely used measurement of trust in social science is the investment game. In this study, we propose a scaled-up, immersive, science fiction Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) scenario for intrinsic motivation on human-robot collaboration, built upon the investment game and aimed at adapting the investment game for human-robot trust. For this purpose, we utilise two Neuro-Inspired Companion (NICO) - robots and a projected scenery. We investigate the applicability of our space mission experiment design to measure trust and the impact of non-verbal communication. We observe a correlation of 0.43 (p=0.02)between self-assessed trust and trust measured from the game and a positive impact of non-verbal communication on trust (p=0.0008) and robot perception for anthropomorphism (p=0.007) and animacy (p=0.00002). We conclude that our scenario is an appropriate method to measure trust in human-robot interaction and also to study how non-verbal communication influences a human's trust in robots.","PeriodicalId":109801,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128729484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
