An Effect of User's Degree of Intimacy on Agent that Expresses Requital of a Favor

Abstract

In this study, we verify an effect of user’s degree of intimacy on agent that expresses requital of a favor. We implement an agent with non-verbal behaviors that gives favor like a smile or a movement to tuck hair behind the ear. These actions are performed while the agent is speaking. We take a questionnaire survey on the user's degree of intimacy both cases with and without these non-verbal behaviors.
