| Abstract(in English) | We experimentally investigated the effects of an embodied conversational agent and a robot on user decision making by using a simple color-name selection problem. The experiments were conducted using 5 groups or 30 people each; each group was tested under a different condition. The agent or robot recommended which name the subject should select for each presented color. The agent had more effect on the user's choice even though the subjects felt a higher degree of familiarity with the robot. We also investigated the effects of two strategies used by agent to gain the user's confidence. The one in which the agent gradually reduced the similarity of its recommendations to the average user preferences resulted in 18.6 matches out or 30. The opposite strategy resulted in 14.7. These results indicate that the design rules for interactive robots are different from those for agents and that the effect or an agent or robot may not be evident to the users. |
