Don’T Trust the Humans: the Impact of Avatars on Persuasion
In a series of experimental studies, we show that less human-like (vs. ultra-realistic) avatars induce greater product liking and compliance with persuasive message. This effect occurs because less human-like avatars’ stimulate cognitive elaboration, resulting in greater compliance. Our findings contribute to understanding human interactions with artificial human-like objects.
