Abstract

We conducted two experiments to analyze the influence of our social agent on interpersonal communication. In the first experiment, the agent supported cross-cultural communication. The agent’s behavior influenced people’s impressions of the agent and their conversation partners. In the second experiment, the agent tried to control human relations. The agent’s attitude influenced subjects’ sentiment toward the agent, and their relations.
