  • Abstract
    We conducted two experiments to analyze the influence of our social agent on interpersonal communication. In the first experiment, the agent supported cross-cultural communication. The agent´s behavior influenced people´s impressions of the agent and their conversation partners. In the second experiment, the agent tried to control human´s relations. The agent´s attitude influenced subjects´ sentiment toward the agent, and their relations.
