Examining the uncanny valley effect in virtual character design for digital games

Journal of Print and Media Technology Research, 2021
Today, games, where visuality is at the forefront, have similar features with a cinema project in terms of both the content and the technologies used. When the realistic appearance of robots and digital designs that do not fully resemble humans exceeds a point, the images created leave their place to negative emotions such as disgust, fear, and hate ...

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prior research on chatbot anthropomorphism has often treated it as a unidimensional construct, producing inconsistent findings regarding how human‐like design cues shape user responses. This study conceptualizes anthropomorphism as a multidimensional higher‐order perception comprising three distinct forms of anthropomorphic attribution ...

Perceptual discrimination difficulty and familiarity in the Uncanny Valley: More like a ‘Happy Valley’.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
The Uncanny Valley Hypothesis (UVH) predicts that enhanced difficulty perceptually discriminating between categorically ambiguous human and humanlike characters (e.g., highly realistic robot) evokes negatively valenced (i.e., uncanny) experience.

When AI Remembers: Investigating the Dual Role of Long‐Term Memory in Chatbots

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research investigates the dual role of long‐term memory (LTM) in AI chatbots and its impact on customer outcomes. Drawing on Mind Perception Theory and Privacy Calculus Theory, we conceptualize LTM as a continuity‐based design capability that may be interpreted as a functional service feature, a privacy‐relevant cue, or a basis for ...
