## Social Psychology and Human-Robot Interaction: An Uneasy Marriage
ACM Human-Robot Interaction '18 ([Bahar Irfan](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=p4SIh7QAAAAJ), Plymouth University)
[paper :link:](https://academia.skadge.org/publis/irfan2018social.pdf)
### Problem
- HRI researchers tend to not question psychology research, which is now known for failing to replicate

### Method
#### Overview
- [godiva_ai interest](https://twitter.com/import_godiva/status/1492850344141156358)
- wanted to see difference having the following in mere presence when doing tasks
- alone (no observer)
- human observer
- NAO (small robot)
- Pepper (big robot)
- but didn't go on to robot experiment because there were no differences when alone vs human observer

#### Improvements
No improvements, just replication

### Data
- 3 tasks: shape maching, story (SAT-ish), sums
- drive theory in [R.B. Zajonc. 1965. Social facilitation. Science 149, 3681 (1965), 269–274.](http://www2.psych.ubc.ca/~schaller/Psyc591Readings/Zajonc1965.pdf) not supported in all 3 tasks

### Reality/Lessons
- fear of being evaluated vs mere presence effect couldn't be separated
- weak methods were used at the time; experiments were often conducted in presence of experimenter
- 5k + 10 null results should be reported to make the original report in-significant

The conclusion chapter is beautiful
- Replicate and reproduce
- Null-results are interesting
- Avoid questionable research practices (like p-value rounding)
- Register your study
- Avoid the Hawthorne effect (implement a distractor task)
- Come up with HRI reference tasks (instead of reproducing social psych tasks)
### What to Read Next
- From characterising three years of HRI to methodology and reporting recommendations(Baxter, 2016)

## More Kawaii than a Real-Person Live Streamer: Understanding How the Otaku Community Engages with and Perceives Virtual YouTubers
CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems '21 ([Zhicong Lu](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=xCxyGuwAAAAJ), 香港城市大学)
[paper :link:](https://www.cs.cityu.edu.hk/~zhiconlu/assets/pdf/CHI2021Vtuber.pdf)
### Problem
- viewers perceptions of VTubers as opposed to real-person streamers is not studied
- social/cultural practices motivations of VTuber communites is not studied

### Method
#### Overview
- yota interest
- Mandarin codes are translated into English
- used affinity diagramming to analyze
- Hyperpersonal Model in computer-mediated communication(CMC) suggests that viewers overinterpert cues from self-presentations of VTubers compared to face-to-face communications, becuase appearance and non-verbal behaviors of 中の人 are hidden

#### Improvements
- Twitch live streaming has been researched

### Data
- interviewees
- n = 21
- Chinese young males on vtuber boards or gaming communities
- min 1 view / week * 1 year
### Reality/Lessons
- All interviewees mentioned that they would not accept a new Nakanohito without confirming that the original Nakanohito was treated fairly.
- 伝説の「ポケモンUSUM最強実況者全力決定戦　アシキvs夢咲楓」戦…
- "P19 mentioned another VTuber who ran a show where most characters on the stage were represented by variants of the VTuber avatar that were all voiced by the same Nakanohito."
- きになる
- 4.4.1 Intentionally Maintaining Nakanohito and Avatar Disembodiment.
- 実質犬山たまきの章が丸ごと一つあって草
- 神楽めあがbilibiliでかなりランキング高い影響?
- そこまでいくならこのあたりも触れてほしかったなァ
- バ美肉勢: 兎鞠やまぐろなちゃん、のじゃおじや伊藤ライフ先生
- 若返りアバター: 美兎委員長や加賀美社長

[paper :link:](https://vbn.aau.dk/ws/portalfiles/portal/406981222/3316_Article_Text_26542_3_10_20200428.pdf) [article :link:](https://www.moguravr.com/designing-identity-in-vtuber-era/)
### Problem
- VTubers need new analysis becuase they are not avatars, as they must
1. not be bound to a specific virtual world
2. produce creative content
### Method
#### Overview
- yota interest
- Survey
#### Improvements
- Second Life and VRChat are studied
### Data
- 47 J, 4 Fr, 44 En
### Reality/Lessons
- Community building as part of identity building seen more in En, Fr
- バ美肉 seen in J
### What to Read Next
