关系代理--旨在与用户建立和维持长期社会情感关系的计算产物--可能会为老年人提供一种有效的界面模式。当代理使用模拟面对面对话作为主要通信媒介时尤其如此，并且对于需要长时间重复交互的应用而言尤其如此，例如在健康行为改变中。在这篇文章中，我们讨论了扮演运动顾问角色的老年人关系代理的设计，并报告了一项纵向研究的结果，该研究涉及21名年龄在62-84岁的成年人，其中一半人在家中每天与该代理互动2个月，另一半作为标准护理对照。结果表明，该制剂被接受和喜爱，在增加体力活动(每天步行)方面明显优于对照组。(C)2005 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Relational agents-computational artifacts designed to build and maintain long-term socialemotional relationships with users-may provide an effective interface modality for older adults. This is especially true when the agents use simulated face-to-face conversation as the primary communication medium, and for applications in which repeated interactions over long time periods are required, such as in health behavior change. In this article, we discuss the design of a relational agent for older adults that plays the role of an exercise advisor, and report on the results of a longitudinal study involving 21 adults aged 62-84, half of whom interacted with the agent daily for 2 months in their homes and half who served as a standard-of-care control. Results indicate the agent was accepted and liked, and was significantly more efficacious at increasing physical activity (daily steps walked) than the control. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
