With the growth of robot technology, more educational-support robots, which support learning, are paid attention to. However, there is a problem in these robots. The problem is that a user loses his/her interest in the robot. To solve this problem, some studies which focus on a model of emotional expressions have been reported in Human-Agent-Interaction. A model of emotional expressions is defined as the agent expressing his/her emotion as with autonomous emotions. These models were shown to be beneficial to effective interaction between the agents and human. Thus, this paper examines how psychological effect of robot which expresses the emotion by using the model of emotional expressions can prompt learners in a collaborative learning.
