Mind and Body: : dimensions of mind perception across agent types in human-agent interaction
(2024) 16th International Conference on Social Robotics, ICSR + AI 2024- Abstract
- The paper details a study that investigated dimensions of mind perception in social agents across various agent types. Factor analysis on 18 mental capacities was conducted across 12 characters, which included 9 social agents - 3 chatbots, 3 voice assistant speakers, and 3 robots. Two factors were identified that roughly aligned with task-oriented and affective-reflective cognitive processes. Based on the factor structure, the factor scores were computed and the different agent types were compared using Kruskal-Wallis tests. The results showed that mind perception differed significantly between biological characters and agents, but did not differ significantly between any of the agent types or embodiments.
