性别的视觉、行为和语言提示通常用于设计虚拟代理，以利用它们对用户的刻板印象。然而，最近的研究表明，我们对社会中的刻板特征和角色有更加性别平衡的看法。本文旨在为虚拟代理中的性别代表性采取渐进和包容性的方法。我们的贡献是双重的。首先，在迭代设计过程中，我们创建了具有代表性的男性、女性和雌雄同体的代理，他们的视觉属性几乎没有差异。其次，我们使用这些代理来评估虚拟代理中性别特征和角色的刻板假设。我们的结果表明，事实上，性别刻板印象并不像之前假设的那么有效，雌雄同体的代理人可能代表性别刻板印象之间的中间立场。我们提出我们的研究结果，希望能够促进虚拟代理研究和性别表征的频繁使用的讨论。
Visual, behavioral and verbal cues for gender are often used in designing virtual agents to take advantage of their stereotypical effects on the users. However, recent studies point towards a more gender-balanced view of stereotypical traits and roles in our society. This paper is intended as an effort towards a progressive and inclusive approach for gender representations in virtual agents. Our contributions are two-fold. First, in an iterative design process, we created representative male, female and androgynous agents with few differences in their visual attributes. Second, we used these agents to evaluate the stereotypical assumptions of gendered traits and roles in virtual agents. Our results showed that, indeed, gender stereotypes are not as effective as previously assumed, and androgynous agents could represent a middle-ground between gendered stereotypes. We present our findings in the hope to foster discussions in virtual agent research and the frequent stereotypical use of gender representations.
