Perceived Social Presence of Anthropomorphized Chatbots
Four experiments assess the effectiveness of chatbot anthropomorphism in customer-chatbot interactions. The results show a significant positive effect of chatbot anthropomorphism on customer-related outcomes but only in pre-purchase situations, not post-purchase. Importantly, social presence mediates these effects. Shopping context and information sensitivity do not act as moderators of the effects.
