Abstract:
This paper investigates the social behaviour of an intelligent virtual agent (IVA) with PRE-ThINK
architecture with the help of typical working student’s life scenario modeling. Тhe program system and the
PRE-ThINK architecture, adapted for this scenario, are proposed, and their components are considered. The
dynamics of the decision making process in problem situations caused by the implementation of this
architecture is shown, when mixed emotions arise and the realization of what happened reflects on the
agent’s temper. IVA’s social behavior is shown, during which in the process of communicating with the
user the agent expresses learned from experience secondary emotions, which can be either in harmony or in
conflict with the realized secondary emotions, resulting both from the agent’s generalized condition and the
events. The investigated secondary emotions are: relief, confidence, prestige, uncertainty, confirmed fear,
disappointment; and also the socially expressed secondary emo
tions such as refrained sadness, refrained
anger, businesslike manners, politeness and authoritativeness.
