The purpose of this study is to promote relationship building between the users who meet for the first time in a three members’ dialogue: one robot and two users. It is often difficult for people who have never met each other before to talk with each other because of psychological barriers caused by mutual unfamiliarity. In this study, we developed a dialogue android that promotes relationship building between the users without speaking directly to each other. It induces the user to taking the other’s perspective by asking the user to speak for the other’s opinion. The experimental results confirmed that the proposed method promotes the relationship building between them, the sense of dialogue. It also improved the impression of the android and the dialogue with it, and the impression on the dialogue between the three persons as a whole. These results suggest that the proposed method is an effective way to promote relationship building between first-time people when androids engage in three persons’ dialogue.
