Dominant and submissive nonverbal behavior of virtual agents and its effects on evaluation and negotiation outcome in different age groups

作者:

Highlights:

• We explored the effect of an agent's dominant nonverbal behavior on its persuasiveness.

• Interfering attention guiding behavior did amplify dominance perceptions for the dominant agent.

• A dominant agent more strongly persuaded seniors than a submissive agent.

• Dominant behavior did not lead to stronger persuasive effects for young adults.

• Seniors generally evaluated the agent more positively than young adults.
