Our vision is to create a validated standardised questionnaire instrument to evaluate human interaction with a social agent. This instrument will help researchers to make claims about people’s perceptions, attitude and beliefs towards their agent. It will allow agents to be compared across user studies, and importantly, it helps in replicating our scientific findings. This is essential for the community if we want to make valid claims about the impact that our social agents can have in domains such as health, entertainment, and education.
We have set up an online project at Open Science Framework (OSF), and we are now looking for more researchers interested in participating in the developing this instrument. We are explicitly looking for researchers with a background in conducting user studies with social agents such as intelligent virtual agents, social robots, and conversational agents.
As we all have busy schedules, individual participation can vary, including providing comments and advise about setting up the instrument, what constructs should be measures, which items to include, pilot testing the instrument, creating a norm database of evaluated agents, and also participating in the writing of scientific papers about the instruments.
What is in it for you? You will end up with a standardised questionnaire to evaluate your social agent and compare it with other agents.
