Popis: People tend to personify machines. Giving machines the ability to actually produce social information can help improve human-machine interactions. Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) are virtual software agents that can process and produce speech, facial expressions, gestures and eye gaze, enabling natural, multimodal, human-machine communication. On the one hand, the field of personality psychology provides insights into how we could describe and measure the virtual personality of ECAs. On the other hand, ECAs provide a method to systematically examine how different factors affect the perception of personality. This paper shows that standardized, validated personality questionnaires can be used to evaluate ECAs psychologically, and that state of the art ECAs can manipulate their perceived personality through appearance and behavior.
