探讨了虚拟人的交互忠诚度与交互者社交焦虑的关系。我们特别探讨了虚拟人的非言语反馈是否会影响互动者的社交焦虑与言语自我表露之间的关联。这个问题进行了调查，在三个实验条件下，参与者与真实的人的视频和虚拟人在计算机介导的面试互动。结果表明，与真实的人类视频互动相比，社交焦虑的人在与虚拟人互动时透露了更多关于自己的信息和更多的私密信息，而社交焦虑程度较低的人则没有表现出这种差异。我们讨论了虚拟人的交互保真度和人类交互中的社交焦虑之间的这种关联对设计用于社交技能训练和心理治疗的具身虚拟代理的影响。版权所有（C）2010约翰威利父子有限公司
We explored the relationship between interactants' social anxiety and the interactional fidelity of virtual humans. We specifically addressed whether the contingent non-verbal feedback of virtual humans affects the association between interactants' social anxiety and their verbal self-disclosure. This subject was investigated across three experimental conditions where participants interacted with real human videos and virtual humans in computer-mediated interview interactions. The results demonstrated that socially anxious people revealed more information and greater intimate information about themselves when interacting with a virtual human when compared with real human video interaction, whereas less socially anxious people did not show this difference. We discuss the implication of this association between the interactional fidelity of virtual humans and social anxiety in a human interactant on the design of an embodied virtual agent for social skills' training and psychotherapy.
