Virtual Hug Induces Modulated Impression on Hearsay Information
Pages 199 - 204
Abstract
Although it is perceivable that interpersonal touch affects recipient's impression of touch provider as well as the information relating to the provider alike, its utility in touch mediated through communication devices (virtual interpersonal touch) remains unclear to date. In this article, we report the alleviating effect of virtual interpersonal touch on social judgment. In particular, we show that virtual hug with a remote person modulates the impression of the hearsay information about an absentee. In our experiment, participants rate their impressions as well as note down their recall of information about a third person. We communicate this information through either a speaker or a huggable medium. Our results show that virtual hug reduces the negative inferences in the recalls of information about a target person. Furthermore, they suggest the potential that the mediated communication offers in moderating the spread of negative information in human community via virtual hug.
