“…The subject then answered the questionnaires regarding their first impression of the robot: humanness [95], uncanniness [96], acceptance [97], trust [98] and fear (see Table 2). The robot introduction was also used as a learning experiment by the co-author (see [99]).…”

As domestic service robots become more prevalent and act autonomously, conflicts of interest between humans and robots become more likely. Hereby, the robot shall be able to negotiate with humans effectively and appropriately to fulfill its tasks. One promising approach could be the imitation of human conflict resolution behaviour and the use of persuasive requests. The presented study complements previous work by investigating combinations of assertive and polite request elements (appeal, showing benefit, command), which have been found to be effective in HRI. The conflict resolution strategies each contained two types of requests, the order of which was varied to either mimic or contradict human conflict resolution behaviour. The strategies were also adapted to the users’ compliance behaviour. If the participant complied after the first request, no second request was issued. In a virtual reality experiment ($$N = 57$$ N = 57 ) with two trials, six different strategies were evaluated regarding user compliance, robot acceptance, trust, and fear and compared to a control condition featuring no request elements. The experiment featured a human-robot goal conflict scenario concerning household tasks at home. The results show that in trial 1, strategies reflecting human politeness and conflict resolution norms were more accepted, polite, and trustworthier than strategies entailing a command. No differences were found for trial 2. Overall, compliance rates were comparable to human-human-requests. Compliance rates did not differ between strategies. The contribution is twofold: presenting an experimental paradigm to investigate a human-robot conflict scenario and providing a first step to developing acceptable robot conflict resolution strategies based on human behaviour.

“…While, these could draw the learner's attention to the relevant information and even possibly reduce visual search time, they did not help to stimulate learners to deeper processing at the transfer level. Here, for example, prompts could be helpful in the future to get the learner to invest in deeper processing of the information (Vogt et al, 2021b). Signals also do not seem to have had an effect on immersion.…”

Learning with desktop virtual reality learning environments (DVR) can be highly visual and present many visual stimuli simultaneously. This can be distracting and require instructional support to help learners in their learning processes. The signaling principle could be a promising approach to support these processes, as signals can guide learners’ attention to the relevant information (Mayer, 2005). The present study investigated the effects of signals in a 360° DVR on learning outcomes and cognitive load. In our between-subjects design, we examined a total of N = 96 participants who were randomly assigned to the signaling or non-signaling group. We hypothesized that the signaling group would achieve higher recall, comprehension, and transfer performance than the non-signaling group. We also expected that the signaling group would experience less extraneous cognitive load and higher germane cognitive load than the non-signaling group. The results show that learners who received signals in a DVR achieved significantly higher recall and comprehension scores than learners who did not receive signals. Transfer performance did not differ between groups. Participants in the signals group also experienced significantly lower extraneous cognitive load than participants in the non-signaling group. However, no differences in germane cognitive load were found between groups. These results suggest that learners in a DVR can be supported by signals in their learning processes while simultaneously helping to reduce unnecessary cognitive load.

“…This theory states that individuals make a mental model of the real world based on their experiences with that world. As learners experience new things through VR, they can update their mental models, and construct their interpretation of reality (Vogt et al, 2021 ). In constructive learning, learners are involved in classroom activities through which they develop the required skills and acquire concepts (Petchtone, 2014 ).…”

During the past decade, Virtual reality (VR)-enhanced education has been adopted as a pedagogically new learning approach to smooth the learning progress. With the rise of VR-enhanced activities, investigating the effect of personality types of EFL learners on their writing performance to use VR-based instruction for learning may be a crucial factor influencing their achievement. This study was an attempt to research the impact of VR- enhanced classes on paragraph writing of extrovert and introvert English foreign language (EFL) Learners. To achieve the purpose of the study, first, the Preliminary English Test (PET) was administered for ensuring the homogeneity of the sample. Once the homogeneity was established, a total of 52 EFL intermediate students were selected and placed into two comparative and two control groups, with 13 participants in each group. Four groups took part in the study, with two groups undergoing treatment with the non-VR teaching approach of paragraph writing and two groups undergoing treatment of VR-enhanced education. Among these four groups, two consisted of introverts and two extroverts that were identified through Eysenck Personality Inventory. The two comparative groups received 12 sessions of VR-enhanced education in online classes (instead of drawing pictures and sharing them within their group, they watched the process activities in the VR environment.), but the control group received learning writing paragraphs through using instructor’s instructional materials. After 6-weeks of treatment sessions, all participants of the study took the post-test. According to the results, the VR-enhanced education was more effective than the non-VR teaching approach in developing paragraph writing of both introverts and extroverts. Moreover, the results of the research showed no significant differences between the performance of the introverts and extroverts, meaning that both had the same performance. The results of this study may pave the way for teachers to use VR-based technology in online and traditional classes without worrying about how learners with different personality traits respond.
