초록

오늘날 가상 세계에서 인간과 인간, 컴퓨터와 인간의 상호작용을 좀 더 효율적으로 도와줄 수 있는 매개체로서 에이전트에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 특히 에이전트의 정서표현도 인간의 정서 표현처럼 해석할 수 있고 그에 대해 인간의 정서표현에 반응하는 것과 마찬가지의 방식으로 반응한다는 연구들이 있어왔다. 그렇다면 에이전트의 정서표현이 표정과 목소리에서 서로 불일치한다면 어떤 쪽에 더 치중해서 에이전트의 정서를 해석할지 또는 어느 한 쪽에 치중하는 것이 아니라 두 정서 모두 조합해서 받아들일지 알아보고자 했다. 또한 만약 표정과 목소리의 두 가지 정서를 조합해서 인지한다면 표정이나 목소리에서는 표현되지 않은 제 3 의 정서를 느끼지는 않는 것인지 알아보았다. 실험은 표정(4) X 목소리(4)로 이루어졌다. 실험 결과 사람들은 에이전트의 한 가지 채널에 지배받아서 정서를 인지하는 것이 아니라 표정(시각)과 목소리(청각) 두 채널 모두를 조합해서 정서를 인지하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 두 채널의 정서가 불일치할 때에는 혼란에 빠져 무슨 정서인지 모르게 되는 것이 아니라 또 다른 실망, 지루함, 지친, 반가운 등의 제 3의 정서를 느끼는 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

Today an embodied agent generates a large amount of interest because of its vital role for human-human interactions and human-computer interactions in virtual world. A number of researchers have found that we can recognize and distinguish between various emotions expressed by an embodied agent. In addition many studies found that we respond to simulated emotions in a similar way to human emotion. This study investigates interpretation of mismatched emotions expressed by an embodied agent (e.g. a happy face with a sad voice); whether audio-visual channel integration occurs or one channel dominates when participants judge the emotion. The study employed a 4 (visual: happy, sad, warm, cold) X 4 (audio: happy, sad, warm, cold) within-subjects repeated measure design. The results suggest that people perceive emotions not depending on just one channel but depending on both channels. Additionally facial expression (happy face vs. sad face) makes a difference in influence of two channels; Audio channel has more influence in interpretation of emotions when facial expression is happy. People were able to feel other emotion which was not expressed by face or voice from mismatched emotional expressions, so there is a possibility that we may express various and delicate emotions with embodied agent by using only several kinds of emotions.
