Evaluation in Interaction Research

Abstract

``Evaluation'' is essential in showing advantages of the proposed approach/frameworks in our research and making contributions clear. A questionnaire paper is well used for evaluation in a research field on interactions, such as human-human interaction or human-agent interaction. However, because the interaction is a complex interplay of multiple elements, it is difficult to isolate specific elements, and because of the effects of individual differences and sequential effects, evaluation of interaction studies is still difficult, and questionnaire evaluations are not always absolute. Against this background, we, organizers of this OS, have examined various approaches to evaluation in interaction research. In this paper, we introduce several efforts from the viewpoint of evaluation of interaction research. Through the introduction of studies from multiple aspects, we hope to provide a basis for discussion on evaluation in interaction research.
