本研究实现了一种通过在通信过程中通过换音器改变性别印象来增强远程同性交流中触摸效果的方法。我们把重点放在交流中的触摸上。虽然心理学研究表明，触摸有各种积极的影响，如触发利他行为，但这些影响在某些情况下受到抑制，特别是在同性交流中，因为同性之间的触摸往往会引起不愉快的感觉。我们的目标是解决这个问题，以利用远程医疗和远程教育等电信目的的影响，通过假设使用远程呈现可以改变人们的性别印象，减少这种不愉快，并增强触摸的效果。我们在男性操作员要求男性参与者执行单调任务的情况下测试了该方法的有效性，结果表明，声音改为女性样的男性操作员的触摸可以减少任务的无聊，并提高对操作员的友好性。
This study realizes a method to enhance the effect of touch in remote same-gender communication by changing the gender impression with a voice changer during telecommunication. We focused on touch in communication. Although psychological studies have revealed that touch has various positive effects such as triggering altruistic behavior, these effects are restrained in some cases, especially in same-gender communication, because the touch between persons of the same gender tends to cause unpleasant feelings. We aimed to address this problem to utilize the effects for telecommunication purposes, such as remote medical care and remote education, by hypothesizing that the use of telepresence could change people's gender impression, reduce this unpleasantness, and enhance the effect of touch. We tested the effectiveness of this method in a situation in which a male operator asked male participants to perform a monotonous task, and the results showed that a touch by the male operator whose voice was changed to female-like could reduce the boredom of the task and improve the friendliness toward the operator.
