Abstract

Self-adaptors are bodily behaviors that often involve self-touch. In our previous research, perceived friendliness of an agent that displays self-adaptors did not decrease over multiple interactions. This research evaluated interactions with agents that exhibit either relaxed self-adaptors or stressful self-adaptors in a desert survival task. The result suggests the need to tailor non-verbal behavior of virtual agents according to conversational contents between an agent and a human.
