The paper details a study that investigated dimensions of mind perception in social agents across various agent types. Factor analysis on 18 mental capacities was conducted across 12 characters, which included 9 social agents - 3 chatbots, 3 voice assistant speakers, and 3 robots. Two factors were identified that roughly aligned with task-oriented and affective-reflective cognitive processes. Based on the factor structure, the factor scores were computed and the different agent types were compared using Kruskal-Wallis tests. The results showed that mind perception differed significantly between biological characters and agents, but did not differ significantly between any of the agent types or embodiments.

摘要

The paper details a study that investigated dimensions of mind perception in social agents across various agent types. Factor analysis on 18 mental capacities was conducted across 12 characters, which included 9 social agents - 3 chatbots, 3 voice assistant speakers, and 3 robots. Two factors were identified that roughly aligned with task-oriented and affective-reflective cognitive processes. Based on the factor structure, the factor scores were computed and the different agent types were compared using Kruskal-Wallis tests. The results showed that mind perception differed significantly between biological characters and agents, but did not differ significantly between any of the agent types or embodiments.
