Personality in Embodied Conversational Agents: Effects on User Experience
نویسنده
چکیده
Successfulness of an Embodied Conversational Agent depends of different variables. Personality is one of these variables. By focusing on user experience instead of personality creation, the effect of personality on the potential success of an agent can be measured. Credibility of the agent is a key factor for its successfulness. Based on a user experiment (N=40), it is possible to conclude that personality of an agent affects user experience. However, the experiments do not provide evidence that personality influences credibility.
