How Social Robots Affect Human Reading?From Visual Behaviors to Cognition
AI is changing human communication,and social robots have become widely involved in information spread.What effects does it have on human reading?How to decrease the negative effects?By adopting eye tracking experiments,this research designs a warning or not(no warning vs.warning)×information characteristics(rumors vs.non rumors)experiment.In conducting this experiment,this research attempts to investigate the visual behavioral characteristics as well as the influencing factors and the identification of rumors under different conditions.The results indicate that warning can affect the visual behavior,and the strength and direction of the influence are moderated by self-construction.However,if only stops at the change of visual behavior,it is difficult for the warning to affect the reading result.This research's findings can help to understand the relationship between social robots and human reading,providing theoretical or methodological references for future research and practices.
