External and Internal Attribution in Human-Agent Interaction
Agents are designed in the image of humans, both internally and externally. The internal systems of agents imitate the human brain, both at the levels of hardware (i.e., neuromorphic computing) and software (i.e., neural networks). Furthermore, the external appearance and behaviors of agents are designed by people and based on human data. Sometimes, these humanlike qualities of agents are purposely selected to increase their social influence over…
Conferencing together in social virtual reality
Technological advancements allow embodied and synchronous communication via social virtual reality (VR), where multiple users interact as avatars in a shared virtual space. However, the affordances of social VR and how users interact with them have been underexplored. We expand the discourse on media affordances by emphasizing user agency in strategic media choices for overcoming constraints in physical and virtual worlds. We qualitatively invest…
Love of one’s musical instrument as a predictor of happiness and satisfaction with musical experience
In this study, we performed a first assessment of the construct validity of a theory and measure of love for music students’ musical instruments. In all, 288 undergraduates at a large and selective Northeastern university in the United States completed measures of their love of their musical instrument with respect to intimacy, passion, and commitment, the three components of a triangular theory of love. They also provided information about their…
In the eye of the beholder
Despite substantial interest in developing theoretical models and technology for creativity enhancement, existing creativity research across various fields lacks a user-centered definition of creativity that can be operationalized in today’s digital spaces. To address this, we conducted a mixed-methods longitudinal research on a study website mirroring content from Bēhance, a popular online platform for creatives. Specifically, we examined how co…
How Interactive Data Visualization and Users’ BMI (Body Mass Index) Influence Obesity Prevention Intentions
The current study examines how interactive data visualization can augment the persuasive potential of health information. In an experiment using an obesity-awareness website (N = 248), we manipulated the level of interactivity in a data visualization tool that featured obesity prevalence in the U.S. and measured participants' absorption into the website, perceived issue severity, content perceptions, and intentions to prevent/treat obesity. Our d…
Interactive Data Visualization Enhances Preventive Intentions in Covid-19 News Stories
The current study investigates the impact of interactive visualization of scientific data in COVID-19 news on audiences' fear arousal, perceived threat, and preventive intentions. An experiment compared the interactive and non-interactive versions of a news story that visualized big data of the rapid spread of coronavirus (N = 153). Results showed that interactive visualization evoked more intense fear arousal, which led to higher levels of perce…
How Interactive Storytelling Persuades
While digital media technology has applied the “choose-your-own-adventure” type of storytelling to many different contexts, a rigorous empirical examination of the persuasive effect of interactive storytelling has only recently begun. Filling this gap, the current study investigates how interactive features added to a health-themed story addressing the obesity epidemic in the U.S. enhance the story’s persuasive effectiveness. Findings from an onl…
