我们进行了两个实验来研究物理体现在人-agent交互中的作用。实验1 （N = 32）表明，身体体现对主体的社会存在感、对主体的评价、对主体的公众评价的评价以及对主体互动的评价都有积极的影响。路径分析表明，被试对社会行为人的社会存在感在被试对社会行为人评价中起中介作用。实验2 （N = 32）表明，限制触觉交互的物理体现对人-agent交互的影响为零甚至为负。此外，实验2表明，孤独者比非孤独者感受到更高的社会存在感，并对社会存在做出更积极的社会反应。讨论了物理体现和触觉交流在人与智能体交互中的重要性，以及社交机器人的多种角色，特别是对孤独人群的角色。(c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of physical embodiment in human-agent interaction. Experiment I (N = 32) shows positive effects of physical embodiment on the feeling of an agent's social presence, the evaluation of the agent, the assessment of public evaluation of the agent, and the evaluation of the interaction with the agent. A path analysis reveals that the feeling of the agent's social presence mediates the participants' evaluation of the social agent. Experiment 2 (N = 32) shows that physical embodiment with restricted tactile interaction causes null or even negative effects in human-agent interaction. In addition, Experiment 2 indicates that lonely people feel higher social presence of social agents, and provide more positive social responses to social agents than non-lonely people. The importance of physical embodiment and tactile communication in human-agent interaction and the diverse role of social robots, especially for the lonely population, are discussed.
