We present a new application for virtual agents in virtual reality (VR), which has the potential to deliver SH training that imitates real world scenarios and is yet safe. We conducted a proof-of-concept study to examine whether a VR simulation of a job interview during which the interviewer, a semi-automated virtual agent, sexually harasses the interviewee is an effective practice tool for women, and could serve as the basis for developing skills for effective response. Five females (24-25 years old) participated in this VR scenario and were then interviewed about their reactions to the VR scenario and the virtual agent. Four main themes emerged: paralysis and fear, uncertainty how to respond, resurfacing of previous SH experiences, and VR as an effective training tool for preventing SH. Findings suggest that contemporary virtual agents in VR can induce the sense of being harassed, similar to real humans. VR offers a safe exposure for SH and may serve as a learning platform to empower women in considering and practicing more effective responses to future SH experiences.","PeriodicalId":148152,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st ACM International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents","volume":"57 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120867570","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}

In the context of a virtual advisor to reduce students' study stress, we designed a between subjects study with three groups (empathic, neutral and adaptive) who either received all cues, no cues or helpful cues only, respectively, and compared rapport and changes in study stress scores. To avoid the cold start problem, we sought to train the agent and adapt its dialogue to include or exclude 10 relational cues based on the user's responses to whether an example of each relational cue is found helpful prior to the session with the virtual advisor. The results of an experiment with 111 students show that the rapport scores for the empathic and adaptive groups were significantly higher than the neutral group; change in rapport scores was significantly higher in the adaptive group than in the empathic group. Furthermore, study stress scores significantly reduced for the adaptive and empathic groups, but not for the neutral group. We found some relationships between the number of times students found helpful what they received and other variables. We also found that the number of discrepancies and matches between what relational cues users received and what they found helpful were greatest in the adaptive group. This indicates the effectiveness of this approach for dealing with the cold start problem.","PeriodicalId":148152,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st ACM International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124177975","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}

As the achievable realism of different aspects of agent design evolves asynchronously, it is important to understand if and how divergence in realism between behavioral channels can elicit negative user responses. Specifically, in this work, we investigate the question of whether autonomous virtual agents relying on synthetic text-to-speech voices should portray a corresponding level of realism in the non-verbal channels of motion and visual appearance, or if, alternatively, the best available realism of each channel should be used. In two perceptual studies, we assess how realism of voice, motion, and appearance influence the perceived match of speech and gesture motion, as well as the agent's likability and human-likeness. Our results suggest that maximizing realism of voice and motion is preferable even when this leads to realism mismatches, but for visual appearance, lower realism may be preferable.
