ABSTRACT
This study examined the effect of touching a warm or cold surface while interacting with a chatbot to see if temperature contributes to feelings of closeness with the artificial conversational agent. Our two-group experiment (N= 44) found no differences between hot and cold conditions in people's liking of the chatbot, but found a main effect of existing favorable attitudes toward chatbots.

Evaluating and Informing the Design of Chatbots
DIS '18: Proceedings of the 2018 Designing Interactive Systems ConferenceText messaging-based conversational agents (CAs), popularly called chatbots, received significant attention in the last two years. However, chatbots are still in their nascent stage: They have a low penetration rate as 84% of the Internet users have not ...
Small Talk Conversations and the Long-Term Use of Chatbots in Educational Settings – Experiences from a Field Study
Chatbot Research and DesignAbstractIn this paper, we analyze the use of small talk conversations based on a dialogue analysis of a long-term field study in which university students regularly interacted with a chatbot during a 3-month period of time in an educational setting. In ...
Emojifying chatbot interactions: An exploration of emoji utilization in human-chatbot communications
Highlights- Emojis increase chatbots' service satisfaction, mediated by warmth perception. This effect is weaker for chatbots than humans.
- The study contributes a nuanced understanding of the CASA paradigm regarding inconsistencies in social ...
AbstractThe prevalence of chatbots in human–computer communication has significantly increased. Emojis, as a form of emotional disclosure, have gained significant attention for their potential to boost chatbot service satisfaction. However, how and when ...
