ABSTRACT
Since children show favoritism of in-group members over out-group members from the age of five, children that newly arrive in a country or culture might have difficulties to be integrated into the already settled group. To address this problem, we developed a robot-mediated music mixing game for three players that aims to bring together children from the newly arrived and settled groups. We designed a game with the robot's goal in mind and allow the robot to observe the participation of the different players in real-time. With this information, the robot can encourage equal participation in the shared activity by prompting the least active child to act. Preliminary results show that the robot can potentially succeed in influencing participation behavior. These results encourage future work that not only studies the in-game effects but also effects on group dynamics.
