Abstract

In this study, we developed an interview training agent system that identifies areas for improvement in interviewees’ nonverbal behaviours (eye gaze, facial expression, and posture) and verified its effectiveness in providing feedback using assertive communication in a series of experiments. Assertive communication is a method of conveying one’s opinions and sentiments while respecting another person's position and opinions. The effectiveness of the feedback was verified in two conditions: the assertive feedback condition, in which the agent provided feedback while expressing its sentiments, in addition to identifying areas for improvement and offering suggestions for improvement; and the control condition, in which the agent solely identified areas for improvement. The preliminal results showed that assertive feedback was effective in improving the acceptability and usefulness of the feedback and agents' interpersonal impressions. In addition, as a continuous effect of the three interview practices, the agent's interpersonal impression improved as the number of times the participants received assertive feedback increased.
