Influence of Robot-Gaze Aversion on Human-Behavioral Dynamics and Perceptual Cognition
- Abstract:
- In conversation, interlocutors are often friendly or polite and generally socially collaborative. However, it is not uncommon that interlocutors get upset, defensive, and antagonistic, engaging in confrontational conversation. Given that we are able to intuitively perceive the contrast between confrontational and non-confrontational conversation, our goal is to find out whether there is a linguistically manifested contrast between the two contexts. A corpus of confrontational conversation was analysed for potentially escalating linguistic devices. In this paper we propose an exploratory experiment where we test these devices to find out whether they, in fact, correspond to the perceived escalation of confrontation in a conversation.
