Abstract
Concern for others (CFO) is an important factor in accomplishing efficient cooperative work by multiple human beings. Quantified CFO for evaluating CFO, named Estimation of the CFO (ECFO), has previously been proposed. In this study, relationships between the cooperative work performance and the ECFO are analyzed using a newly developed virtual ping-pong game. In our previous study, a driving simulator with two operators was developed and employed to investigate cooperative behavior. Furthermore, the ECFO was defined as the difference of the inputs between individual operation and cooperative operation by two operators. However, the task was too complicated to achieve satisfactory prediction accuracy. Therefore, it was difficult to obtain the exact relationship between the ECFO and the performance. For this reason, in this study, a ping-pong game was developed and used for the quantitative evaluation of the ECFO. More accurate prediction of the input in individual operation was obtained using this game.
